FLOWING


Underneath where nobody finds me

all the brothers are gone

I can see the passing refugees

         

Flowing


They are flowing


Nobody saw it get to my head

no, they can’t find me

calling loud in the dark ravine


Flowing


Oh, I am flowing


Flowing back the village river bed

as the water flows underneath my head


All the brothers have gone back overseas

girlies pass me by

I had the meanest heart you’ve ever seen


Flowing


Oh I’m flowing


If I could crawl out of this yawning earth

go find Suzy-Boo

we’d smoke gold in the dreamland too


Flowing


We are flowing

Flowing by my river to the sea

by my mean old spirit in the trees


I turned my face to the sound above

no, they can’t see me

old bones, just food for the trees


Flowing

         

Oh, I’m flowing


There was lies and fires in the hills

down the living streets

their smoke blows back my memories


Flowing

    

Oh, I’m flowing


Flowing down river to the sea

flowing mean old bones in the stream

If these old bones could ever sail a while

for an extra mile

they’d flow just like the river Nile


Flowing


They are flowing
