Fantasy. Love. Confidence. Hesitation.

lyrics

The second time that I saw you, I should've knelt down before you.
The third time that I saw you, I was scared that I would bore you;
and I need a film script-writer in my head, someone like you to fill my bed - even all the advice I take from friends; I just can't get a chance to make a mends.
Now I'm alone with you, I must do what I can do.

Before the moment passes, before the end of all my chances, before he takes your hand, before he gets to work his plan.
Before the winter darkness, before the cold of feeling loveless, I pray the script will find a way to say what's on my mind.

The 51st time saw you, I think I knelt down before you,
your children were buying ice cream and your husband was playing on the swings.

By now, I'm a writer of great films and the words just flow like rivers do; at last I confess my love to you, but now you're alone with me - it's you whose words won't set you free.

Before the moment passes, before the end of all my chances, before he takes your hand, before he gets to work his plan.
Before the winter darkness, before the cold of feeling loveless, I pray the script will find a way to say what's on my mind.

The second time that I saw you, I think I knelt down before you.
The third time that I saw you, I'm so glad you said I should call you.

about

Rivers Of England image

Rivers Of England Bath, UK

Original yet familiar sounding with occasional echoes of John Martyn and even Nick Drake, Rivers Of England’s lush string and Hammond/Rhodes based sound delivers foot-tapping ear candy aplenty with a spine-tingling powerful vocal on top. The surprises keep coming, not least, supporting The Fall, amusing hospital visits on tour and a regular soundtrack for operating theatre. ... more
