Lyrics
Once I saw the river clean Distant future, wait for me I grow pleasing to the eye And the queue will queue for me
Once I saw the river clean Soon the clock will strike for me Childish mind anticipates Grown-up mind consummates
I walked with my grandmother Down a windblown Chester Road With her fifty-two new pence For her twenty number-tens
And my forty-five pence too Demand metal guru Once with hearts securely stacked Then we walked all the way back
I walked with my grandmother Along the groan of Talbot Road In the gardens by the graves I can just about behave
Arrogant and paranoid All around, see fathead youth Look into their brutal eyes But only if you want the truth
Once I saw the river clean Scratching up the latest scheme Time will come but it hasn't yet Someone's out to get me
I walked with my grandmother Cornbread street, we're incomplete She would never be again A Dublin dancer, free and young
