	Just behind the station
	Before you reach the traffic island
	A river runs through a concrete channel
	I took you there once
	I think it was after the
	Lead millThe water was dirty and it smelt of industrialization
	Little masters coughing their lungs up
	And globules, the color of tomato ketchup
	But it flows, yeah, it flows
	Yeah, underneath the city
	Through dirty brickwork conduits
	Connecting white witches on the
	MoorWith Pre-
	Raphaelites, down in
	Broom hall
	Beneath the old
	Trebor factory
	That burnt down in the early seventies
	Leaving an antiquated sweet-shop smell
	And caverns of nougat and caramel
	Nougat, yeah, nougat and caramel
	And the river flows on
	Yeah, the river flows on
	Beneath pudgy fifteen year olds addicted to coffee whitener
	Courting couples, naked on
	Northern Upholstery
	And pensioners gathering dust like bowls of plastic tulips
	And it finally comes above ground again at
	Forge DamThe place where we first met
	I went there again for old time's sake
	Hoping to find the child's toy horse ride
	That played such a ridiculously tragic tune
	It was still there
	But none of the kids seemed interested in riding it
	And the cafe was still there too
	The same press-in plastic letters on the price list
	And scuffed
	Formica-top tables
	I sat as close as possible to the seat
	Where I'd met you that autumn afternoon
	And then, after what seemed
	Like hours of thinking about it
	I finally took your face in my hands
	And I kissed you for the first time
	And a feeling like electricity flowed through my whole body
	And I knew immediately
	I'd entered a completely different world
	And all the time, in the background
	The sound of that ridiculously heartbreaking child's ride outside
	At the other end of town
	The river flows underneath an old railway viaduct
	I went there with you once
	Except you were somebody else
	And we gazed down
	At the sludgy brown surface of the water together
	Then a passer by told us
	That it used to be a local custom
	To jump off the viaduct into the river
	When coming home from the pub on a
	Saturday night
	But that this custom had died out
	When someone jumped and landed too near to the riverbank
	And had sunk in the mud there and drowned
	Before anyone could reach them
	Maybe he'd just made the whole story up
	You'd never get me to jump off that bridge
	No chance, never in a million years
	Yeah, a river flows underneath this city
	I'd like to go there with you now, my pretty
	And follow it on for miles and miles
	Below other people's ordinary lives
	Occasionally catching a glimpse of the moon
	Through man-hole covers along the route
	Yeah, it's dark sometimes but if you hold my hand
	I think I know the way
	Oh, this is as far as we got last time
	But if we go just another mile
	We will surface, surrounded by grass and trees
	And that fly-over that takes the cars to cities
	Buds that explode at the slightest touch
	Nettles that sting but not too much
	I've never been past this point
	What lies ahead,
	I really could not say
	And I used to live just by the river
	In a dis-used factory, just off the
	WickerAnd the river flowed by, day after day
	On one day
	I thought, "One day, I will follow it"
	But that day never came
	I moved away and lost track
	But tonight,
	I am thinking
	About making my way back
	I may find you there and float on
	Wherever the river may take me
	Wherever the river may take me
	Wherever the river may take us
	Wherever it wants us to go
	Wherever it wants us to go
