Sweet Thames Flow Softly Lyrics by Alison Brown

Twilight Motel

1992

[Verse 1]
I met my love near Woolwich Pier
Beneath the big crane standing
And all the love I felt for her
It passed all understanding
[Chorus]
Took her sailing on the river
Flow, sweet river, flow
London town was mine to give her
Sweet Thames, flow softly
[Chorus]
Made the Thames into a crown
Flow, Sweet River, flow
Made a brooch of silver town
Sweet Thames, flow softly
[Verse 2]
From Shadwell dock to Nine Elms Reach
We cheek to cheek were dancing
Her necklace made from London Bridge
Her beauty was еnhancing
[Chorus]
Kissed her once again at Wapping
Flow, sweet rivеr, flow
After that there was no stopping
Sweet Thames, flow softly
[Chorus]
Gave her Richmond Court to twist
Flow, sweet river, flow
Into a bracelet for her wrist
Sweet Thames, flow softly
[Verse 3]
But now alas the tide has changed
My love, she has gone from me
Winter's frost has touched my heart
And put a blight upon me
[Chorus]
Creeping fog lies on the river
Flow, sweet river, flow
Sun and moon and stars gone with her
Sweet Thames, flow softly
[Chorus]
Swift the Thames flows to the sea
Flow, sweet river, flow
Bearing ships and part of me
Sweet Thames, flow softly
