Am G Dm
Down here everyone says that the River People don't really belong here.
Dl Am G Dm
I know what it's like to be a stranger and divide a town beside a frontier.
G Dm
People want your business and little more
Am G Dm
I've watched shadows lengthen from a closed door.

Dm
Mountains wide, nothing is clearer to the River People than what the others try and hide.

Dm
You spoke, pushed your chair back at the meeting and I could tell that you were petrified.
G Dm
You said the best people can suddenly oppose
Am G Dm
The sight of good will and then it arose.
G Dm
Two people, four people crossed the floor
Am G Dm
I saw children run, I wept amidst the uproar

Dm (STOP) Am G Dm
Around here your stranded face before the moonlight, the color of the sea.
Dm (STOP) Am G Dm
You came up to the house after swimming on sunset and the flattened sea.
G Dm
The sky had opened, it had gone bust
Am G Dm
You and I watched the River People swim before us
G Dm
The sky had opened, it had gone bust
Am G Dm
You and I watched the river people swim before us
