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