lyrics

water flowed under a bridge
i sat on the bank by a rushing river
i drink my beer, made a paper boat...
put it in the water

who knows the secret name of ashes
telescopes and rusting watches
what wind will blow through mountain passes
passengers on ships that pass us

white slaves.. black slaves
black slaves
white sails- on the waves

i walked down the hill to Somerville
got a Balintine Ale to drink by the water
i sat on the bank, made paper boat
watch my boat float down the river

white noise is playing on a radio
somewhere near the junior high school
the noisy water laughs like sorrow
laughs like sorrow,,laughs like sorrow

white slaves.. black slaves
black slaves
white sails- on the waves

who knows the secret name of ashes
telescopes and rusting watches
what wind will blow through mountain passes
passengers on ships that pass us
