Lyrics
The Village
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where did I go, how did I come to reach this place?
If only I'd learned to let them hold me.
There's a beggar with gold, said he made a village built with clay,
Before it all got washed away.
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Down by the river where the river is so cold,
and the older and women come to play.
Steady my heart cos the pattern of your soul
Is spoken in the rhythm of yesterday.
Na na na yeah
Na na na yeah
Na na na yeah
Na na na yeah
Where did I go, how did I come to reach this place?
If only I'd let the beggars show me,
To the valley of gold where once stood the village build with clay,
Before I all got washed away
