Canal Song
Lyrics:
The warm, caressing breeze
Slipped through the
Overhanging trees
In the city of our days
Across its dancing waterways
Now it's gone, now it's past
We were there, it didn't last
Footpath jogging in the dark
You found me sleeping in the park
It happened so fast
Live all summer long
On the canal
Her dragon song
Barge of red and gold
My unicorn
You don't get old
Drift again downstream
In the power
Of a dream
Ripples of the sun
River fun
We'd just begun
Happy, bright and blue
Like all the children at the zoo
The city wrapped us in its arms
Revealed its warm forbidden charms
Now we're gone, we are the past
We're not there, we didn't last
Boozy picnic by the lake
They said they did it for your sake
We went far too fast
Live all summer long
On the canal
Her dragon song
Barge of red and gold
My unicorn
You won't get old
Drift again downstream
The fading glow
Of a dream
Ripples of the sun
We thought we'd won
We'd just begun
And the bridge by the park
We blew it up in the dark
Live all summer long
On the canal
Her dragon song
Barge of red and gold
My unicorn
You can't get old
Drift again downstream
The fading power
Of a dream
Ripples of the sun
On the run
We'd just begun
