The morning I left home the summer was brand new 
Had many miles to roam – didn’t know where I was hearing to 
Local girls want to settle down and be a shackle on your hand 
But you don’t come from the lowlands and you don’t understand 

Reached the ocean only with a cap and violin 
Woods green as a fable, when the summer storms rolled in 
Then I wore my hands to holds from digging up the streets 
And the road from out of there looked broad and straight and sweet 

Said meet me by the river on the edge of town 
Down by the water when the sun goes down 
Whispered I’d make good on all the promises I said 
But if the highway comes between us – I’ll follow her instead 

Left England on a Sunday when the clouds blocked out the sun 
Stood on silent platforms where the trains don’t ever come 
Hit Spain three days later eighteen months before the war 
Nameless village hearing songs I’d never heard before 

Ate honoured meals of strangers hearing white washed church bells ring; 
Folks talking different languages are saying the same things 
Mary carried roses to the church with all her friends 
Weeping tears of gold into the hands of beggar men 

Said meet me by the river on the edge of town 
Down by the water when the sun goes down 
Whispered I’d make good on all the promises I said 
But if the highway comes between us – I’ll follow her instead 

Said meet me by the river on the edge of town 
Down by the water when the sun goes down 
Whispered I’d make good on all the promises I said 
But if the highway comes between us – I’ll follow her instead
