Bridge of Dean

歌詞

Leith Waters run, Leith Waters flow And time's washed down as melted snow There sleeps the unnamed girl laid low Weed tangled hair pulled to and fro Her life dragged to the undertow Down by the of Dean All Hallow's Eve left ghosts there In Bonfire Night's chill wood smoked air Her same old path to home seemed strange That friendly way so rearranged Each well known tree took evil shape Down by the of Dean She's crossed Dean and dropped down right And left behind safe city's lights Gone wandering home quite out of sight Each bang and flash of firework bright Left her shaking by the riverside Down by the of Dean So scared she runs for Saunders Street In tripping steps and heart skip beat While man made thunder splits the sky Hygieia cries as she runs by But the roaring river spurs her own Down by the of Dean That creeping feeling something's wrong She's glancing back and running on Down to the arch and almost there A hand grabs out behind the stair Why can no-one hear her screaming there Down by the of Dean? The healing draughts of St. Bernard's Well They could not help her as she fell Down in the water still she lies With reaching arms and pleading eyes But no-one knows as they walk by Down by the of Dean No sign to mark the place Save a lonely pink glove half buried in mud Oh sing on high you church bells toll An hourly mass for the unnamed girl For her lonely lost forgotten soul Down by the of Dean
