He Waits, By The Riverside Lyrics by Oli Julian, Nick Foster

2024

Where does the wind ever slumber
Where does the river not flow
There the reeds they will rustle like chains
The bullrush refuses to grow
The nightingale’s song drones endlessly on
The fishes are bathed in the sun
But they are powerless moths in the flame
A flame drawn up from the sand
He waits by the riversidе
And he waits by the road
He’ll play you his drum
And thе fiddle he’ll bow
So caution yourself
Beware of his tongue
Cause all that is loved
Can crumble to none
He waits by the riverside
And he waits by the road
He’ll play you his drum
And the fiddle he’ll bow
So caution yourself
Beware of his tongue
Cause all that is loved
Can crumble to none
