Slowly the town comes
To rest around me
The night birds are waking now
I wander the streets
The town is quiet now
And full.of mystery
As I go down to the waterfront
A figure passes me
He walks like a cat
In the dark through the square
Behind the door in Fish Street
I found him sitting in my chair
It's only the river-man
His voice came soft and low
Come stand beside me
And watch the water flow
A horse runs through the square
Ancient air
And the woven lives of men
It's only the river-man
And this is not the end
