Down here everyone says that the River People don't really belong here.

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.

I saw children run, I wept amidst the uproar

Around here your stranded face before the moonlight, the color of the sea.

You came up to the house after swimming on sunset and the flattened sea.

You and I watched the River People swim before us

Am G Dm
You and I watched the river people swim before us
