1
Our history runs down our rivers
2
Down our rivers to the sea
3
Reminds us of the things that matter
4
Home and heart and history
5
And all our sins will be forgiven
6
Washed away to set us free
7
By the rivers that run through our homesteads
8
By myth and modal melody
9
I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
10
To remind me of what I already know
11
I traced the shorelines through a thousand histories
12
To remind me an island is my home
13
An island is my home
14
I traveled far across this country
15
Northumberland to Southern Downs
16
I wandered up the rolling Humber
17
And down the Thames to London town
18
And countless lives were lived and lingered
19
In the cotswells and the fells
20
I left a tapestry called England
21
And life and those who lived it well
22
I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
23
To remind me of what I already know
24
I traced the shorelines through a thousand histories
25
To remind me an island is my home
26
An island is my home
27
Round here the sky is a little closer
28
A little closer to the ground
29
It's hard for someone to get lost here
30
Harder still to get found
31
And though I've seen a thousand rivers
32
From the Mississippi to the Rhine
33
The only place that I'll lay my hat down
34
Is by an English riverside
35
I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
36
To remind me of what I already know
37
I traced the shorelines through a thousand histories
38
To remind me an island is my home
39
An island is my home
40
So place your trust into the sea
41
It's kept us safe for centuries
42
It shaped our shores and steadily
43
Its care has brought us, come
44
And when I die, I hope to be buried out in English seas
45
So all that then remains of me
46
Will lap against these shores
47
Until England is no more
