Dear River Thames,
|
You keep moving along,
|
Not knowing where you're going,
|
Or where you've come from.
|
Your head's in the valley,
|
Your feet in the sea,
|
Dear River Thames,
|
Stay a while, stay a while,
|
Listen to me.
|
|
Dear River Thames,
|
Distress blurs my mind,
|
Through London's gray pastures,
|
So bleak and unkind.
|
Clear blue through meadows,
|
Darker through town,
|
Dear River Thames,
|
Stay by me, stay by me,
|
And don't let me down.
|
|
Dear River Thames,
|
Sail me down to the sea,
|
Where seagulls sing anthems,
|
And circle around free.
|
And there I shall rest,
|
Where the waters descend,
|
Dear River Thames,
|
For the ride, I must confide,
|
That you are my friend.
|
