lyrics

down by the riverside you knelt
broken pottery in your hands
and you weep

he was the man
seafarer on the streets
was cast ashore
but told you he would leave

and meet the ghost on the road
pale it flows
the ghost he knows
pale it flows
(pale it flows)

see how the soldiers fought their lives
part their hair with brilliantine
coming home on leave
and met their ghost on the road
pale it flows
the ghost they behold
pale it flows
(pale it flows)

“He the prosperous man …
… But shall have his sorrow for sea-fare” [Ezra Pound]

the strait it is
the strait it is
the strait it is
how great it is
to put your feet on the ground
I might as well kneel down
and kiss the solid ground
and I know your love will bring me home this time
