Lyrics

Riverbanks

The clock face has been heading south for hours now
And I don't know if I'm still underground
Should I stay for another drink?
I know it's getting late but to hell with it
Ooh, please don't break these riverbanks
Ooh, but just open your eyes, something beautiful is happening
Just open your eyes, something beautiful is happening
Ooh
The stereo has broken, the air is hard to breathe in
And I don't know if I'm still on my own
And should I stay for another drink
Or maybe I've seen what you've see? See what you see
Just open your eyes, something beautiful is happening
Just open your eyes, something beautiful is happening
Ooh, please don't break these riverbanks
Ooh, there's so much more to see
Ooh, please don't break these riverbanks
Ooh, just open your eyes, something beautiful is happening
Just open your eyes, something beautiful is happening
Just open your eyes, something beautiful is happening
Just open your eyes, something beautiful is happening
