It's warm by the river, the weir keeps us clean   The wood-smoke and cigarettes are all that we need   Marking the dirt with twigs and simple words spoke   Kicking the dust so that we can just      Dance the dance that plays with the fire   We play guitar and played it inspired   You said you would leave not ever   Underneath the sky forever      It's cool by the sea when the pavement is hot   We take a walk down there to see what we've got   An old man collecting fifty beautiful words   Cleaning the beach so that he can teach us to      Dance the dance that plays with the fire   We play guitar and played it inspired   You said you would leave not ever   Underneath the sky forever      It's cold by the pane glass on the high street we played   But there's always a penny in the music we made   So far from home and no means of return   Burning the bridges so we'd always      Dance the dance that plays with the fire   We play guitar and played it inspired   You said you would leave not ever   Underneath the sky forever      And we're so far from home   No means of return   There's so much that we have taught   And so much we have learned      And we're so far from home   There's no means of return   There's so much that we have taught   And so much we have learned      Oh and we're so far from home   No means to return   There's so much that we have taught   And so much we have learned      And we're so far from home   No means to return   There's so much that we have taught   And so much we have learned      And we're so far from home   No means to return   There's so much that we have taught   And so much we have learned, yes
