One Day The River
Sean Hayes
One day the river will take this away
Some day the river will take us
The river the river
There is a missing thing
A brown umbrella
Pokka dots with fine leather
Where could it be?
This missing thing
Your Queen takes my pawn
My pawn takes your beast
It’s a reasonable thing
This reasoning
I sleep with a beautiful tiger
Such pretty paws
Ferocious teeth
Don’t worry though she ‘s quiet sweet
One day the river will take this away
Some day the river will take us
The river the river
Outside our window a river flows
Beep beep
It never sleeps
She never sleeps
The wolves are running from men with machine guns
Are these evil men?
Or evil guns
Run wolves run
One day the river will take this away
Some day the river will take us
The river the river
Outside our window a wild wild garden grows
They killed the jade tree
And filled it in with concrete
No time to weep
There is an ocean of beautiful women
Come lets go swimming
Come lets go swimming
One day the river will take this away
Some day the river will take us
The river’s going to take us
Away.away away away……
