Fairport Convention

Fairport Convention - The Man in the Water lyrics

rate me

There’s a man in the river

He is standing in a circle, smoking

Round a man

Man in the water

This is nothing but circles

Could have been a fisherman

Could have dived for pearls

Could have found the answer in the watery world

Could have been a builder

Could have found the key

Could have run with the river

And then in the sea

Did he run with the river?

Did he run with the river?

No more questions

Just the river’s answer

For the man in the water

His wife at the window

Cursing the cameras and the man in the water

Could have been a fisherman

Could have dived for pearls

Could have found the answer in the watery world

Could have been a builder

Could have found the key

Could have run with the river

And then in the sea

Did he run with the river?

Did he run with the river?

Did he run with the river?

Did he run with the river?

There is light at the window

A candle burning

A young girl turning into a _____

Could have been a fisherman

Instrumental

Some dark Sunday

The women walking down by the water

They speak of a diary

With missing pages and a map

Could have been a fisherman

Could have dived for pearls

Could have found the answer in the watery world

Could have been a builder

Could have found the key

And the way I feel tonight

I suppose it could have been me

Got to run with the river

Got to run with the river

Got to run with the river

Got to run with the river

Got to run with the river

Got to run with the river
