Rivers & Tides

Pretty party dresses gathered in the hall
Khaki-countered in a line
Grinning puppet, dancing on a string
Feel my spin doing time

Time flies, singing the same old song
Everybody's droning on and on
People look like strangers to me
The people I know, the people I meet
Rivers winding never finding the sea

Laughing on the bus, like a couple of school kids
Sweet nostalgia's heroin
Cut against the grain, no matter what we say
Dead poets swimming in our veins

Time flies, singing the same old song
Everybody's droning on and on
People look like strangers to me
The people I know, the people I meet
Rivers winding never finding the sea

You can never go home
Madly laughing in the rain
You can never go home

You're in Aberdeen, she's in Aberlour
When you order up, they pour a cup for her
She's the reason why
You are who you are
