Tales From The Riverbank - The Jam

作词：Paul Weller

作曲：Paul Weller

Bring you a tale from the pastel fields

Where are we ran when we were young

This is a tale from the water meadows

Trying to spread some hope into your heart

It's mixed with happiness it's mixed with tears

Both life and death are carried in this stream

That open space you could run for miles

Now you don't get so many to the pound

True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia

But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to

That I'll always run to

Won't you join me by the riverbank

Paradise found down by the still waters

Joined in the race to the rainbow's end

No fears no worries just a golden country

Woke at sunrise went home at sunset

Now life is so critical

Life is too cynical

We lose our innocence

We lose our very soul

True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia
