about

First released in 2015 and finally added to Bandcamp 2020! Recorded at Manor Park Studio, Co.Antrim, Northern Ireland.

Inspired by the Lagan Towpath and a lovesick fever, amongst other things...

lyrics

If you're down at the riverside, and you see a swan alone,
you see a boy who's lost his partner,
you see a girl who's far from home
To get where we need to in life, sometimes we must be braver

So girl, be careful with this boy,
his heart has no room for hurt, you've got to bring him joy
And boy, be careful with this girl,
she looks to you for hope, you've got to change her world

I was down at the riverside, I did not know what I'd find
I saw swans, there were two together,
their bodies were entwined
Sometimes the best things in life come to those who've waited

So girl, be careful with this boy,
his heart has no room for hurt, you've got to bring him joy
And boy, be careful with this girl,
she looks to you for hope, you've got to change her world

This surreal awakening has driven me to tears,
it's like falling in love at first sight, with someone you've known for years

Girl, be careful with this boy,
his heart has no room for hurt, you've got to bring him joy
Oh, and boy, be careful with this girl,
she looks to you for hope, you've got to change her world
