lyrics

Ice On The River

Ice on the river
Pastel pink sky
Bird song echoes
From a summer gone by.
Pale sun skating smoothly
By the brow of the lea
The wisp of wood smoke
From the pub on the quay
Salt and spindrift
Whipping the sea.

Ice on the river
Frost on the field
Cold tide lapping
‘Gainst the boards of the pier.
Grey mist rolling slowly
O’er the crest of the hill
Lays dew on the tussocks
Down by the mill
Everything is silent
Everything is still.

Ice on the river
Snow on the sea
Dark clouds blowing
Last leaves from the trees
Red rust on the boat hulls,
The anchors and chains.
Barnacles and lichens
Clothing their shame
Longing for a fair wind
To sail out again.
