Feather on the Clyde - 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 a current just like my blood flows

Down from the hills

Round aching 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

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

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

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

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
