Jam - Tales from The Riverbank Lyrics

Bring you a tale from the pastel fields
Where we ran when we were young
This is a tale from the water meadows
Trying to spread some hope into your heart
Its mixed with happiness - its mixed with tears
Both life a death are carried in this stream
That open space you could run for miles
Now you dont get so many to the pound

True its a dream mixed with nostalgia
But its a dream that Ill always hang on to
That Ill always run to
Wont you join me by the riverbank

Paradise found down by the still waters
Joined in the race to the rainbows end
No fears no worries just a golden country
Woke at sunrise, went home at sunset

Now life is so critical, life is too cynical
We lose our innocence, we lose our very soul

True its a dream mixed with nostalgia
But its a dream that Ill always hang on to
That Ill always run to
True its a dream mixed with nostalgia
But its a dream that Ill always hang on to
That I always run to
Wont you join me by the riverbank
Come on and join me by the riverbank
