Brian Eno
Walking Along the River
Walking along the river in the town that I was born
There were images stretching out to the [horizon]?
I'm adding some decoration from the ceiling to the floor
I've been using these pictures for my medication
From the kingdom to the soul
For little steps from here to there
Animals, Birds and Trees transform in the fire
Burning all night long
[??] since monkeys and spiders
That's the way it's done
We go.. [Chorus]
Walking along the river, putting some words together
I believe we're almost home
Floating along forever
Maybe it's now or never
I can see what we have done
Animals, Birds and Trees gently whisper to guide her
And this is what they say:
Every transformation wears formal attire
And two weeks resting ... [?]
I'm taking a piece of paper, writing myself a letter
When the day is long, I'm setting it down
Beginning my own adventure, Call me the mad professor
I keep writing, most of the time
Children's choir:
Gentle father who will help you?
Gentle mother who will tell you?
Gentle children who will take you?
Gentle people who will...
