1
A grief came riding on the wind
2
Up the southern river Thames
3
I was sitting on the bank with my mouth open
4
And I felt it entering
5
I began thinking about our wedding day
6
And how love was a vow
7
And I was thinking about the chamber door
8
Only we can enter now
9
I began thinking about our ancient friends
10
And of kissing them goodbye
11
And then the wind blew under Battersea Bridge
12
And a tear broke from my eye
13
I started thinking about London
14
And nothing good ever came from this town
15
And if the Thames weren't so filthy
16
I would jump into the river and drown
17
Don't be afraid
18
Come on down
19
I'm just sitting here thinking loud
20
A grief came riding on the wind
21
Up the river where the bridges crouch
22
Blowing people back and forth
23
From the marital bed to the psychiatric couch
24
Blowing people far apart
25
Blowing others so they collide
26
Blowing some poor bastard right out of the water
27
Blowing another one over the side
28
Hear the ancient iron-bridge
29
And listen to it groan
30
With the weight of a thousand people
31
Leaving or returning home
32
To their failures
33
To their boredoms
34
To their husbands and their wives
35
Who are carving them up for dinner
36
Before they even arrive
37
Don't be afraid
38
Come on down
39
I'm just sitting here thinking loud
40
Now look there just below the water
41
See the savior of the human race
42
With the fishes and the frogs
43
Has found his final resting place
44
Don't be afraid
45
Come on down
46
I'm just sitting here thinking aloud
