lyrics

Left you down by riverside
The evening tide was rowing high
That silent supine thing they call the Seine
I was tired of your little girl games.

Then, suddenly, the other day
I pictured you in sewer drains
Collecting paper boats, that children lose
I was drunk, in a jealous mood

So I got down, crawled stomach side
And tossed those carpet rolls aside
The kind of sanitation workers use
They came green, took me to police blues

And in jail this man of stone who broke his foot
In nights so lonely told me
I was guilty for my crime
Yeah, I thanked him in time

Found my way back to the river
Sat and stared at least an hour, I gave up
I tried weeping for your sake
Think they must make these benches for heartbreak

Back to her cuz that expound her
Tides for loving serve this hand
Back to me, back to me, in your pouting way
Time will find your sunken quays
