Pete Townshend - The Sea Refuses No River слова песни
I remember being richer than a kingThe minutes of the day were goldenI recall that when the joint passed roundMy body felt a little colderBut now I`m like a sewer channel - running lime and scagLet me get at the master panel - let me at my stackThe sea refuses no riverAnd right now this river`s banks are blownThe sea refuses no riverWhether stinking and rankOr red from the tankWhether pure as a springThere`s no damned thing stops the poemThe sea refuses no riverAnd this river is homeward flowingI have seen a trace of strainIn other`s eyes not spokenI must admit that I enjoyed their painBut this time it`s me that`s brokenI demand for you and HisThis must be the timeWhen we decide what freedom isTurn water into wineFor the sea refuses no riverWe`re polluted now but in our hearts still cleanThe sea refuses no riverWe tried not to ageBut time had it`s rageWe`re washed over stonesFrom babes into clones of the meanThe sea won`t refuse this muddy riverNor deny the sulfurous streamThere was a fool in a dressing robeRiding out the twilight hourLonely and cold in an empty homeTrying to assess his powerBut now he`s like a stream in floodSwollen by the stormHe doesn`t care if he sheds his bloodLet him be rebornFor the sea refuses no riverRemember that when the beggar buys a roundThe sea refuses no riverAnd rain fills the guttersNo time for stuttersThis is our chanceTo sing and to dance and to clownThe sea refuses no riverAnd rivers were sprung to drownThe sea refuses no riverNo pecking code respected for the damnedThe sea refuses no riverWhether starving or illOr strung on some pillJust `cos you own the landThere`s no unique hand plugs the damThe sea refuses no riverAnd the river is where I amThe river is where I am
