lyrics

Now as I look at the small winding brook
I see it clearly
It’s not there

I know where you hide from the tremble inside
It’s somewhere under
Oh, but where?

Beyond the alleys and feral nightlife,
Deep, dark and nameless
A secret that nobody normal would share

Now you flow below the streets
Under pavements as they sleep
Down there, tell me where you go
Will you tell me where you go?
All the alleys look the same
And they all still bear your name
Will you tell me where you go?
Please just tell me where you go
I’ll see you by the estuary shore
A faint ghost of what was there before

Now as I look at the small winding brook
I hear your thunder
But from where?

Now go meet your friends by the estuarine Thames
It’s somewhere over . . .
Over there!

Beyond the alleys and feral nightlife
Deep, dark and nameless
A secret that nobody normal would share

You can move hills and carve fields of stone
But still look pathetic
Trundling aimless where you’re told to go

Now you flow below the streets
Under pavements as they sleep
So then tell me where you go
Will you tell me where you go?
All the alleys look the same
And they all still bear your name
Will you tell me where you go?
Please just tell me where you go
I’ll see you by the estuary shore
A faint ghost of what was there before

Tyburn, Brent, Counter's Creek
Hackney Brook, and your Fleet
Tyburn, Brent, Counter's Creek
Hackney Brook, and your Fleet

Now you flow below the streets
Under pavements as they sleep
So then tell me where you go
Will you tell me where you go?
All the alleys look the same
And they all still bear your name
Will you tell me where you go?
Please just tell me where you go
I’ll see you by the estuary shore
A faint ghost of what once flowed before
