black and silver - max maguire lyrics
Loading...
i asked myself, on the rivers edge
how many dead souls, still roll around its bed
i asked myself, could wapping be a city
built on spice and coal, tobacco, rum and ivory
the water looks deep, black and silver
rippling like a sheet, of satin dow the isis
clay pipes, on bermondsey beach
rattle in the shallows scattered at my feet
i ask myself
heavy chains, and ragged rope
that would have had to tame, the river from the boat
molten iron, relics from the war
that would have dripped in fire, now washed up on the sh0r-
i asked myself, is this the quietest place i know
where pools of thought drift gently down to bow
this borderland, is a wild frontier
marked with shale and sand, you’d never know its here
i ask myself
