The Man in the Water

Rob Beattie

There's a man in the river
Policemen standing
In a circle, smoking
Round the man
Man in the water
Who sees nothing but circles

Could have been a fisherman
Could have dived for pearls
Could have found the answer
In the watery world
Could have been a builder
Could have found the key
Could have run with the river
And then into the sea

Did he run with the river?
Did he run with the river?

No more questions
Just the river's answеr
For the man in the water
His wifе at the window
Cursing the cameras
And the man in the water

Could have been a fisherman
Could have dived for pearls
Could have found the answer
In the watery world
Could have been a builder
Could have found the key
Could have run with the river
And then into the sea

Did he run with the river?
Did he run with the river?
Did he run with the river?
Did he run with the river?

Is there a light at the window
A candle burning
A young girl turning
In a heart gone cold

Could have been a fisherman

Some dark Sunday
The women walking
Down by the water
They speak of a diary
The missing pages
And the man

Could have been a fisherman
Could have dived for pearls
Could have found the answer
In the watery world
Could have been a builder
Could have found the key
And the way I feel tonight
Suppose it could have been me

Go to run with the river
Go to run with the river
Go to run with the river
Go to run with the river
Go to run with the river
Go to run with the river
