about

SONG OF INNOCENCE AND EXPERIENCE

lyrics

THE CHALKY RIVER WAS ALMOST DRY
THE BLACK MOUNTAIN ROSE TO MEET THAT SUMMER SKY
schoolchildren were getting drilled in a hall
of an old building that was begining to fall
BENEATH BLACK MOUNTAIN COUNTING THE DEWDROPS THE IRISH ROVER ON HIS JOURNEY WITH NO MAPS
IN THE BACKSTREETS BEHIND THE OLD MILL
THE SOUND OF FEET HURRYING UP THAT HILL
SGT MC ALEER APPEARS ON THE SCENE
YOU HEAR YOUR MOTHER ASK THE NEIGBOUR WHAT IT MEANS
BENEATH THAT FOUNTAIN COUNTING THE RAIN DROPS
THE IRISH ROVER ON HIS JOURNEY WITH NO MAPS
YOUR SISTER KISSED HER MISTER RIGHT
DREAMING IN THE SHADOWS OUTA REACH OF THAT STREETS LIGHT
ONE NIGHT A STRANGER APPEARS AT THE DOOR
A FRIEND OF YOUR FATHERS FROM BEFORE THAT WAR
NOW HE WAS YOUNG WHEN HE CHOSE TO STRAY
CHASE HIS DREAMS AROUN D THE USA
NOW HE HANGS AROUND OUTSIDE THE SHOPS
AN IRISH ROVER ON A JOURNEY WITH NO MAPS..
