Well there's a river that runs through Glasgow
Em C G
And it makes her but it breaks her and takes her in two parts
C Em G
And her current just like my blood flows
C G(C)
Down from the hills, round aching bones to my restless heart
C G
Well I would swim but the river is so wide. And,
C G
I'm scared I won't make it to the other side. Well,
C G
God knows I've failed but He knows that I've tried
C G
I long for something that's safe and warm. But,
C G
All I have is all that is gone
C G
I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde
C G
Well on one side all the lights glow
Em C G
And the folks know where the kids go when the music and the drinking starts
C Em G
On the other side where no cars go
C G(C)
Up to the hills that stand alone like my restless heart
C G
Well I would swim but the river is so wide. And,
C G
I'm scared I won't make it to the other side. Well,
C G
God knows I've failed but He knows that I've tried
C G
I long for something that's safe and warm. But,
C G
All I have is all that is gone
C G
I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde
C G
Well the sun sets late in Glasgow
Em C G
And the daylight and the city part
C Em G
And I think of you in Glasgow
C G
Cos you're all that's safe, you're all that's warm in my restless heart
