LYRICS The city I was born in I left a long time agoAnd we lost touch, grew apart, my friend

My heart's an old pole dancer, troubled romancer, you know

It's a subway chancer, a question with no answer

Come meet me by the river, see how time it flowsI'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows

And when we age shed our skin and growWe shed our layers, spread our wings and go

My heart's an old black panther, corrupted financer, you know

It's a troubled romancer, a question with no answer

Come meet me by the river, see how time it flowsI'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows

Come meet me by the river, see how time it flowsI'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows

Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it (yeah)Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it (yeah)

Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it (yeah)Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it (yeah)

Come meet me by the river, see how time it flowsI'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows

Oh now the river runs away but I chase itTime holds no fear when I turn round to face it

Oh now the river runs away but I chase itTime holds no fear when I turn round to face it
