Lyrics Paul Weller

Paul Weller

Black River

Black river

Black river

Black river

The story's still unfolding

And like the river rolling

It's always

Moving like a tide

Seemingly unchanging

But of course nothing

Stays the same

You'll see

Black river

Black river

Black river

And if I scratch the surface

And try to look to learn it

Oh

What fantastic worlds

I'll find

Stay with me forever

Buried deep inside my mind

You'll see

Sha, la, la, la, la

I'm casting out my line

Although it's floating by

Who knows what I'll find

We'll see

It's early in the morning

I watched a raindrop falling

So slim and tender from a leaf

It stays with me forever

Buried deep inside of me

You'll see

Black river

Black river

Black river

Black river

Black river

Black river

You drifter
