ello full moon rising
See you're pulling the tide
On a quiet October evening
Waiting - to spring your surprise

he rains they came
And took our fields primrose
Of Autumn Gold
Over Downland and Weald
The bridge went under
And the river's water
Took our little town

ello rolling winter skies
Looking over your tranquil life
On a quiet stormy morning
Waiting for the sun to come

he rains they came
And took your treasured trove away
And ravaged your home
It was only rebuilt last winter
At foot of Downland and Weald

ut I love you still little river
I love your passionate tide
How you long to reach the moon
How sorrowful still and silent you bow
How you rush endlessly
To the rhythm of the sea
Watch me swim upstream.
