lyrics

Sweet Thames run softly till the pounding stops
There's a pounding on the walls, marching on the rooftops
The rain's in the river, water filling up the atmosphere
The river runs to the sea, we were soaked through with fear
They poured it over us, whispered in our ears

Train crash at the gate, train crash at the gate
Broken marriages in silent carriages
Running for the escalators, always running late, always running late
Footsteps on the rooftops, enemies at the gate
One o'clock with Tony and George at Claridges, always running late
Footsteps on the rooftops, enemies at the gate

Hope's in the air, smells like rain
I'm a collection of plastic bags
Big red blood on a bendy bus
I'm a collection of sad old gags
Big red face and I lost the race
In a flurry of smoke and rags

Leaves are on the trees, rain's in the river
Trees are in my living room, river's in the sea
Trees to make us rich and free, river feeding me.

about

Andre Shlimon Bristol, UK

Andre Shlimon is an alternative-classical pianist and composer, singer-songwriter and poet.
Lingering Hope is his forgotten and under-appreciated early masterpiece.
In it's own small way, it is a minor tragedy of sorts. But he is happy all the same.
If you have time then it's worth a listen, especially for Laura Moody's beautiful cello playing.
