The Riverboat Song

Artist：ocean colour scene

Songs Title：the riverboat song

I see double up ahead

Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun

Is where the river runs red

Like a king who stalks the wings and shoots a dove

And frees an eagle instead

Its more or less the same as the things that you said

I see trouble up the road

Like the things you found in love are by the way

And like to cheat on your soul

Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control

Before you lie on your bed

Its more or less the same as the things that you said

Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow

Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red

Anyway for all the things youve seen tell me when will the river run green

And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow

Its more or less the things you fail to say in your way thats your trouble

Like a king who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars

And his double

Its more or less the same as the things that you said

Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow

Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red

Anyway for all the things youve seen tell me when will the river run green

And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow

I see trouble up ahead

Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun

Is where the river runs red

I see double - thats my trouble.
