The Thames
The Thames
Again here I find myself
this river is my friend
When all seems lost and times get tough
I come with paper and pen
For here along her shoreline
somehow the answers come
My mind becomes replenished
as I lie here in the sun
Go ahead, work your magic
sun and wind and water too
Cleanse my soul, and clear my thoughts
just the way you always do
Tell me through your whispered breezes
tell me how, to right the wrongs
Please assure me, with your beauty
I can do this, for I am strong
As the gull calls out his warning
and the swans drift slowly by
Fill me with your flowing essence
help me stop these tears I cry
For within you lies a power
and a rage resides in me
Let your power flow throughout me
carry my rage, to the open sea.
