I was a rock but I've come so far,From tumbling between the infinite stars,But oh oh, but no more.
Yeah 'cause time tore the flesh away from the bone,I was a rock but now I'm a stone,But I know there’s more.
Yeah I'm made from the mud,I came from the clay,The centuries silently sliding away.
Yeah I was a rock but I've come so far,From tumbling between the infinite stars.
La, la, oh,Yeah I'm made from the mud,I came from the clay,The centuries silently sliding away.
Yeah I was a rock but the dust I've become,Is just part of the great imperceptible hum,Yeah I, I'm no more.

Golden was the bird I knew,Sang a song so free then flew,And they won't come back,Can't come back.
Golden was the bird long gone,Sang a little while, flew on,And they won't come back,Can't come back.
Yeah, I woke one morning, long time gone,A magpie’d come to steal away my song,Was up against the window yeah tapping on the pane,But it couldn't get in, no, kept calling my name.
Golden was the bird,And they won't come back.

I'm a working man,And I've got working hands,And I've worked the land for ages, hmm.
But the toll this life has taken,Is a back that’s always aching,And if my scars could tell their tales,It'd take a long, long time,You'd hear about broken bones and splinters.
Yeah, tankard ales and long dark winters,A laureate who’s not worried at the rhyme.
Oh but when the rain comes down,I stop the rain from falling on the ground.
I'm a working man,And I've got working hands,I've worked the land for ages, hmm,For ages, hmm.

You bring me, You shape me, You call me, Your only.
You know me, Like no one else.

Verse 1

Well, not so long ago,
I had the sweetest dream
I will never forget the feeling,
People walking hand in hand
Will you come
with me, come

To the other side of the river
Where peace you will find,

Reach the other side, will we ever
Will you come
With me, come

Verse 2

I’m awake, but
my dream is still here,

In my heart my soul and mind
And I hope this dream we can share,

‘Cause your heart beats just like mine
Will you come with me, come
To the other side of the river
Where peace you will find,

Reach the other side, will we ever
Will you come
with me, come
Will you come,
Come with me, come
Will you come
With me, come
