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 answer For the man in the water His wife 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
