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.......
