[Verse]
Am G C
Down by the river where the factories lie
F Dm
and the Westgate stretches across the sky
Am G C
i’ve Live north and i’ve Moved south
F Dm
but I always return to the river mouth
Am G C F Dm
[Verse]
Am G C
Out from the city all the secrets pour
F Dm
through the pipes that we laid a hundred years ago
Am G C
love and ruin in the strainign wells
F Dm
rags and bodies and teeth and gold
Am G C F Dm
[Verse]
Am G C
a woman of science in her tower above
F Dm
her laboratory s labour of love
Am G C
there she works while the war raged on
F Dm
never to marry or she’d lose it all
Am G C F Dm
[Verse]
Am G C
when I was young I never knew
F Dm
that i’d be brought back here to you
Am G C
no stranger thing than how we’re drawn
F Dm
back to place from which we’re born
Am G C F Dm
