Intro: Bb

Bb F Eb Bb
When I was 10 years old I always needed to be told
Bb Dm C Bb
That I should not be frightened by the fact that we grow old
Bb F Eb Bb
But as the days slipped by I felt the pressing need to cry
Bb Dm C Bb
And I quickly understood exactly why they'd had to lie

Bb

Bb F Eb Bb
In the daylight I could cope, because the sun seemed full of hope
Bb Dm C Bb
I laughed enough for two grown men and learnt I could tell jokes
Bb F Eb Bb
But sadness has a subtle face and then it came to gloat
Bb Dm C Bb
We heard about the girl and boy hung by their skipping rope

Bb

Bb C Bb
Isn't it too hard to conceive
Bb C Bb
Doesn't it bring you to your knees?
Eb F Gm Bb
And all I want to do
Eb F Bb
is to float with the river so free.

Bb

Bb F Eb Bb
Now, fear is not a gentle thing although it has no fists
Bb Dm C Bb
It crawls down from your thoughts and ties you by your skinny wrists
Bb F Eb Bb
Death will take your lips from you so that you cannot kiss
Bb Dm C Bb
But fear will leave you screaming out for all the love you'll miss

Bb

Bb F Eb Bb
And I had a friend who thought he knew exactly where he stood
Bb Dm C Bb
A place in heaven's safe for him as long as he did good
Bb F Eb Bb
But life and love ran through his veins and opened up his mind
Bb Dm C Bb
Now he's got his gun but a new terror sings at night

Bb

Bb C Bb
Isn't it too hard to conceive
Bb C Bb
Doesn't it bring you to your knees?
Eb F Gm Bb
And all I want to do
Eb F Bb
is to float with the river so free.

Bb

Bb F Eb Bb
And Larkin is the master in this poetry of fear
Bb Dm C Bb
But he could never capture what cried darkly in his ears
Bb F Eb Bb
And he would understand that though I wrote these words to sing
Bb Dm C Bb
These petty verses cannot hope to tell you anything

Bb

Bb C Bb
Isn't it too hard to conceive
Bb C Bb
Doesn't it bring you to your knees?
Eb F Gm Bb
And all I want to do
Eb F Bb
is to float with the river so free.

Bb

Bb F Eb Bb
So everyday I'll stop these thoughts before they'll take a hold
Bb Dm C Bb
Lying in my bed pretending that I won't grow old
Bb F Eb Bb
And maybe when I'm 84 I'll sit and sing this song
Bb Dm C Bb
Just hope that if I do then this fear is dead and gone

Bb

Bb C Bb
Isn't it too hard to conceive
Bb C Bb
Doesn't it bring you to your knees?
Eb-F-Gm Bb
And all I want to do
Eb F Bb
is to float with the river so free.

Bb

Bb C Bb
Isn't it too hard to conceive
Bb C Bb
Doesn't it bring you to your knees?
Eb F Gm Bb
And all I want to do
Eb F Bb
is to float with the river so free.

Bb

Eb F Bb
is to float with the river so free.
Eb F Bb
is to float with the river so free.

Bb
