lyrics

Greenway Song

When you lose the things you love too soon,
you can howl like a dog at a backyard moon.
You’ve wished on every star in the zodiac,
And they said they’ll have to call you back.
When you’ve had about enough of that brick and stone,
and you want some time just to be alone;
when you can’t break the ice on anything,
I say: you must believe in spring.

CHORUS:
It guides my feet and it makes me sing.
I’m the Prince of every blooming thing.
On the day my heart’s just a broken bone,
I’ll let the Greenway bring me home…

From the Musgrave Channel up to Orangefield,
these rivers put their shoulders to the wheel.
To make rope and linen, and whiskey too -
and parachutes for World War Two

CHORUS

People come together if you give them room -
these waters join like a bride and groom.
I want to hold on tight to every friend:
You can’t take one river out of the other again.

The heron was in my dreams last night -
a skinny old ghost in grey and white.
This city needs that kind of bird,
who listens and never says a word.

CHORUS
