About
A song about the sculptured hedges in the Thames Barrier park
Lyrics
Intro
Oh oh oh
Kyrie eleison
Green rising up
In the hollow ground
Chorus
Rolling over like the river
Rolling over like the river
Clipped and curved and cold
Deep within the green dock
Rolling over like the river
Rolling over like the river
Post-Chorus
Wave on wave
Wave on wave
Quiet water
Green dock home
Verse 1
Concrete walls stay dry
Sunken silence starts to bloom
Emerald giants breathing
Watching the tides move slowly across the stone
Walls stay high
Flowers die early there
Pre-Chorus
It feels different here
It smells thicker now
It grows lower down
Chorus
Rolling over like the river
Rolling over like the river
Clipped and curved and cold
Deep within the green dock
Rolling over like the river
Rolling over like the river
Post-Chorus
Wave on wave
Wave on wave
Quiet water
Green dock home
Verse 2
Outside is only flat yellow grass
Bitter winds bite the meadow birds
But the yew stays steady and strong
Safe behind the gravel path and shadows
Wild leaves fall
Tamed wood stands
Pre-Chorus
It feels different here
It smells thicker now
It grows lower down
Chorus
Rolling over like the river
Rolling over like the river
Clipped and curved and cold
Deep within the green dock
Rolling over like the river
Rolling over like the river
Bridge
Sculpted by hand
Shaped by time
Struck by light
Echoes of the docklands
Echoes of the anchors
Echoes of the iron
Chorus
Rolling over like the river
Rolling over like the river
Clipped and curved and cold
Deep within the green dock
Rolling over like the river
Rolling over like the river
