Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Once I saw the river clean Distant future, wait for me I grow pleasing to the eye And the cue will cue for me Once I saw the river clean Soon the clock will strike for me Childish mind anticipates Grown-up mind consummates [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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
