Once I Saw the River Clean |
Once I saw the river clean |
Distant future, wait for me |
I grow pleasing to the eye |
And the queue will queue for me |
Once I saw the river clean |
Soon the clock will strike for me |
Childish mind anticipates |
Grown-up mind consummates |
I walked with my grandmother |
Down a windblown Chester Road |
With her fifty-two new pence |
For her twenty number-tens |
And my forty-five pence too |
Demand «Metal Guru» |
Once with hearts securely stacked |
Then we walked all the way back |
I walked with my grandmother |
Along the groan of Talbot Road |
In the gardens by the graves |
I can just about behave |
Arrogant and paranoid |
All around, see fathead youth |
Look into their brutal eyes |
But only if you want the truth |
Once I saw the river clean |
Scratching up the latest scheme |
Time will come but it hasn’t yet |
Someone’s out to get me |
I walked with my grandmother |
Cornbrook Street, where incomplete |
She would never be again |
A Dublin dancer, free and young |
