Songtexte Feather On the Clyde (Acoustic) - Passenger

Well, there's a river that runs through Glasgow
And it makes her, but it breaks her and takes her in two parts
And her current, just like my blood, flows
Down from the hills, round achin' bones, to my restless heart

Well, I would swim, but the river is so wide
And I'm scared I won't make it to the other side
And, well, God knows I've failed, but He knows that I've tried
I long for something that's safe and warm
But all I have is all that is gone
I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde

Well, on one side, all the lights glow
And the folks know, and the kids go where the music and the drinking starts
On the other side, where no cars go
Up to the hills that stand alone like my restless heart

Well, I would swim, but the river is so wide
And I'm scared I won't make it to the other side
And, well, God knows I've failed, but He knows that I've tried
Long for something that's safe and warm
But all I have is all that is gone
I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde
Oh, Lord

Where the sun sets late, in Glasgow
And the daylight and the city part
And I think of you in Glasgow
'Cause you're all that's safe, you're all that's warm
In my restless heart
