A grief came riding On the wind Up the [SOLEMN] river Thames I was sittin' on the bank with my mouth open When I felt it entering I began thinkin' about our wedding day And how love was a vow I was thinkin' about the chamber door Only we can enter now I began thinkin' about our ancient friends And of kissin? them goodbye And then the wind blew under Battersea bridge And a tear broke from my eye I started thinkin' about London [HOW] nothing good ever came from this town and if the Thames weren?t so filthy I would jump in the river and drown Don't be afraid Come on down I'm just sittin' here Thinking loud [A grief came riding on the wind up the river where the bridges crouch blowin' people back and forth from the marital bed to the psychiatric couch] Blowin' people far apart Blowin' others so they collide Blowin? some poor bastard right out of the water blowin? another one over the side Hear the ancient iron bridge And listen to it groan with the weight of a thousand people Leavin' or returning home To their failures To their bordoms To their husbands And their [wives] who are carving them up for dinner before they even arrive Don't be afraid Come on down I'm just sittin' here [Thinking loud] NOW look there just [BELOW] the water See the saviour of the human race, [with] the fishes and the frogs, Has found his final resting place Don't be afraid Come on down I'm just sittin' here [Thinking loud]
