Riverbend
Down the steps I came
I left in ankle chains
A ship of fools set sail with me
The sun lit up the Thames as Big Ben chimed
It sounded like a death knell to me
Out of the blue
Into the black
Head hung low
There's no looking back
It's just 10,000 miles
From the Riverbend
No champagne on the bow
No flags, no kids allowed
No you to wave goodbye to me
Hung my coat upon that burned out sinking sun
And the rest, they say, is history
Out of the blue
Into the black
Head hung low
There's no looking back
It's just 10,000 miles
From the Riverbend
On the bridge at dawn
Almost two centuries on
The sun stretches from the sea
With my shackles gone
Who knew we'd live so long
You would be envious of me
Out of the blue
Into the black
Head hung low
There's no looking back
It's just 10,000 miles
From the Riverbend
It's just 10,000 miles
From the Riverbend
I left in ankle chains
A ship of fools set sail with me
The sun lit up the Thames as Big Ben chimed
It sounded like a death knell to me
Out of the blue
Into the black
Head hung low
There's no looking back
It's just 10,000 miles
From the Riverbend
No champagne on the bow
No flags, no kids allowed
No you to wave goodbye to me
Hung my coat upon that burned out sinking sun
And the rest, they say, is history
Out of the blue
Into the black
Head hung low
There's no looking back
It's just 10,000 miles
From the Riverbend
On the bridge at dawn
Almost two centuries on
The sun stretches from the sea
With my shackles gone
Who knew we'd live so long
You would be envious of me
Out of the blue
Into the black
Head hung low
There's no looking back
It's just 10,000 miles
From the Riverbend
It's just 10,000 miles
From the Riverbend
