One Day The River - Sean Hayes

One day the river will take this away

Some day the river will take us

The river the river

There is a missing thing

A brown umbrella

Pokka dots with fine leather

Where could it be?

This missing thing

Your Queen takes my pawn

My pawn takes your beast

It’s a reasonable thing

This reasoning

I sleep with a beautiful tiger

Such pretty paws

Ferocious teeth

Don’t worry though she ‘s quiet sweet

One day the river will take this away

Some day the river will take us

The river the river

Outside our window a river flows

Beep beep

It never sleeps

She never sleeps

The wolves are running from men with machine guns

Are these evil men?

Or evil guns

Run wolves run

One day the river will take this away

Some day the river will take us

The river the river

Outside our window a wild wild garden grows

They killed the jade tree

And filled it in with concrete

No time to weep

There is an ocean of beautiful women

Come lets go swimming

Come lets go swimming

One day the river will take this away

Some day the river will take us

The river’s going to take us

Away.away away away…
