about

Talk about tough jobs - this guy once tried to convert The Thinman to religion - in the pub too - at least a song appeared out of it.....................................

lyrics

Out of the deep blue horizon
A dart to the heart of this land
Is the future surprising ?
Or is it just like you planned ?

It always was - it always will
The river ’s long - but never still

You’re climbin (on) the tallest mountain
Swimmin (in) the deepest sea
Like a poet or a politician
Speakin (in) riddles to me

It always was - it always will
The river ’s deep - but never still

Are you building your beacons
So high and so grand
The light of your religion
Is a shadow over the land

It always was - it always will
The river ’s dark - but never still

And so I’m gonna choose a whole other lifestyle
I got the power of flight - I can soar in my mind
But you - you’re walking with the ghost of the Susquehanna
Your on a road all the way from Florida - to Canada

So you tried it on with John Wayne’s Mrs
Before he told you to “beat it”
And so you got a Full Monte Breakfast
And took all your clothes off to eat it

On a dark desert highway
We were shooting stars
You said I’ll do it my way
And you shot Frank Sinatra

It always was - it always will
The river ’s slow - but never still
