Birch Tree

The city I was born in

I left a long time ago

We lost touch

Grew apart my friend

My heart's an old pole dancer

Troubled romancer, you know

It's a subway chancer

A question with no answer

Come meet me by the river

See how time it flows

I'll meet you by the river

See how time it flows

And when we age

Shed our skin and grow

We shed our layers

Spread our wings and go

My heart's an old black panther

Corrupted financer, you know

It's a troubled romancer

A question with no answer

Come meet me by the river

See how time it flows

I'll meet you by the river

See how time it flows

Come meet me by the river

See how time it flows

I'll meet you by the river

See how time it flows

Oh, now the river runs away, but I chase it

Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it

Oh, now the river runs away, but I chase it

Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it

Come meet me by the river

See how time it flows

I'll meet you by the river

See how time it flows

Oh, now the river runs away, but I chase it

Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it

Oh, now the river runs away, but I chase it

Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it.
