Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The city I was born in
I left a long time ago
We lost touch
Grew apart my friend
My heart's an old pole dancer
Troubled romancer, you know
It's a subway chancer
A question with no answer
[Verse 2]
Come meet me by the river
See how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river
See how time it flows
[Verse 3]
And when we age
Shed our skin and grow
We shed our layers
Spread our wings and go
My heart's an old black panther
Corrupted financer, you know
It's a troubled romancer
A question with no answer
[Verse 4]
Come meet me by the river
See how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river
See how time it flows
[Verse 5]
Come meet me by the river
See how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river
See how time it flows
[Verse 6]
(Yeah)
Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it (Yeah)
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it (Yeah)
[Verse 7]
Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it (Yeah)
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it (Yeah)
[Verse 8]
Come meet me by the river
See how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river
See how time it flows
[Verse 9]
Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it
[Verse 10]
Oh, now the river runs away when I chase it
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it
