[00:15.62]I looked out across
[00:16.34]The river today
[00:23.40]I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
[00:26.81]Where the seagulls play
[00:30.46]I saw the sad shire horses walking home
[00:34.73]In the sodium light
[00:38.54]I saw two priests on the ferry
[00:40.51]October geese on a cold winter's night
[00:46.20]And all this time the river flowed
[00:50.62]Endlessly to the sea
[01:01.29]Two priests came round our house tonight
[01:08.81]One young one old to offer prayers for the dying
[01:12.56]To serve the final rite
[01:16.48]One to learn,one to teach
[01:20.34]Which way the cold wind blows
[01:23.99]Fussing and flapping in priestly black
[01:27.09]Like a murder of crows
[01:31.51]And all this time,the river flowed
[01:39.03]Endlessly to the sea
[01:46.34]If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
[01:54.53]And I'd bury the old man
[01:56.25]I'd bury him at sea
[02:02.40]Blessed are the poor,for they shall inherit the earth
[02:10.42]Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle
[02:17.18]And as these words were spoken I swear I hear
[02:20.94]The old man laughing
[02:25.21]'What good is a used up world
[02:26.43]And how could it be worth having
[02:31.91]And all this time the river flowed
[02:40.09]Endlessly like a silent tear
[02:46.90]And all this time the river flowed
[02:55.02]Father,if Jesus exists
[02:57.05]Then how come he never lived here
[03:13.96]The teacher told us,the Romans built this place
[03:21.43]They built a wall and a temple,an edge of the empire
[03:25.39]Garrison town
[03:28.84]They lived and they died,they prayed to their gods
[03:32.91]But the stone gods did not make a sound
[03:36.92]And their empire crumbled,'til all that was left
[03:40.68]Were the stones the workmen found
[03:44.39]And all this time the river flowed
[03:51.96]In the falling light of a northern sun
[03:59.12]If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
[04:07.14]Men go crazy in congregations
[04:08.56]But they only get better
[04:11.46]One by one
[04:18.16]One by one
[04:22.48]One by one
[04:26.08]One by one...
[04:27.05]I looked out across
[04:28.93]The river today
[04:33.45]I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
[04:36.65]Where the seagulls play.
