The Man in the Water

There's a man in the river

Policemen standing

In a circle, smoking

Round the man

Man in the water

Who sees nothing but circles

Could have been a fisherman

Could have dived for pearls

Could have found the answer

In the watery world

Could have been a builder

Could have found the key

Could have run with the river

And then into the sea

Did he run with the river?

Did he run with the river?

No more questions

Just the river's answer

For the man in the water

His wife at the window

Cursing the cameras

And the man in the water

Could have been a fisherman

Could have dived for pearls

Could have found the answer

In the watery world

Could have been a builder

Could have found the key

Could have run with the river

And then into the sea

Did he run with the river?

Did he run with the river?

Did he run with the river?

Did he run with the river?

Is there a light at the window

A candle burning

A young girl turning

In a heart gone cold

Could have been a fisherman

Some dark Sunday

The women walking

Down by the water

They speak of a diary

The missing pages

And the man

Could have been a fisherman

Could have dived for pearls

Could have found the answer

In the watery world

Could have been a builder

Could have found the key

And the way I feel tonight

Suppose it could have been me

Go to run with the river

Go to run with the river

Go to run with the river

Go to run with the river

Go to run with the river

Go to run with the river
