City By the River
In this city by the river
Full of mud and grass, stone and flesh,
Chests stay still without a shiver
And roses make us appear fresh,
I rode far, saw many wonders,
Felt love for a beautiful girl
Who loved me despite my blunders,
Then all was taken in a twirl,
By hunger he was so driven
Still, to me he's unforgiven,
Now I rest beside the givers,
In this city by the river.
