we're doubtful of much hope today

i'm so sad to see you sad

goldness of feeling think of a roman



go in to the western wind

send me a river

see the ship on the sea

send me a river

'cos i am not where i want to be



designing for the kingdom

and shaping to the crowd

the scene was so revolting

that the queen in the shame she bowed

she bowed to the families of misfortune

who had lost a lonely life to her



she did not know

she could cause sorrow within

send her a river

see the ship on the sea

send her a river

'cos she is not where she wants to be



and when your evening gown

trails into the mud

remember what they're seeing

is not what it's all about

and you've got to walk on through

with millions on either side

watching you with their eyes



you did not know

you could cause sorrow within

send you a river

see the ship on the sea

send you a river

'cos you are not where you want to be



we're doubtful.......
