The Song of the River Thrush Lyrics by Michael Waite

2022

Well I've seen the fertile valleys
Avocados on the trees
And I've danced with happy strangers
All aboard the salty seas
But if I won the Powerball
I'd just give it all away
For the song of the river thrush
At the end of a summer day
I picture your sweet body
On the day that you were born
When I met you in the city
Your heavy coat was worn
You sang a song so sweet and true
Of long ago and far away
Like the song of the river thrush
At the end of a summer day
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Somebody put a bomb inside my bedroom
A fallout shelter in thе hall
There's a long list in my pocket
And thеre's termites in the wall
There's an angry mob outside
Oh, but just above the fray
Is that song of the river thrush
At the end of a summer day
And when my life is over
And I'm standing on the shore
Well I won't have my dear eyeballs
To see your body anymore
But I'll hear your spirits singing
If it's a zillion miles away
Like that sweet song
Just like that song
The song of the river thrush
At the end of a summer day
