about

As dramatic and ethereal as this song sounds, it’s about being wanting to leave your work to go to the pub. An emotion that those of future lockdown generations will perhaps never be able to relate to. You notice a lot of Drink-based imagery once you're in on it.

lyrics

I was alone when the light of the moon said
‘Maybe you should build a road’
Raised my shovel through the night to the dawn
Knew I should work until the dirt was gone
Prayed my thoughts they’d rest a while
Still they drift - like smoke - to a golden smile
Sure as rivers run they run.

She’s come round in a silk-white gown
Trying to draw my eyes away
She’s come round in a silk-white gown
She’s trying to close them
Sing a sweet tune
Sweet as honey-dew
Someday the song’s gonna turn my head
but not today

Bathed in peach lamp light
I sat down to write
A novel or a poem or two
Words as fresh as February dew
But she’s twirling around the edge of my room
Humming her golden tune
I hum along for a moment
For a moment I wanted to.

When a thirst came on I went to her place just for one.
Life’s a faded book
She makes it look like the sun in June.
Like Hollywood.
I want to swim in her river.
I want to swim in her river just one more time.
One more time
Every day until I die.
