Silver River Turning - Jethro Tull[00:00:00]
Written by:Ian Anderson[00:00:02]
I walked down[00:00:42]
That boulder road[00:00:44]
Through a child's eye saw places where I used to go[00:00:46]
Where I crawled barefoot[00:00:52]
With a fishing pole[00:00:54]
To the rock that overlooked that steelhead hole[00:00:55]
But it's true[00:01:00]
Silver river turning blue[00:01:03]
It was a small town[00:01:10]
In a smaller world[00:01:12]
Just a black dot on an old map with it's edges curled[00:01:14]
Where they built their industries[00:01:20]
On the edge of town[00:01:22]
Leaching chemicals from underground[00:01:24]
Now it's true[00:01:28]
That silver river turning blue[00:01:31]
Just got a late reaction[00:01:38]
Face reality and stare it down[00:01:42]
Sometimes it's harder hanging on[00:01:47]
Much easier to look around[00:01:51]
But I need that job[00:01:55]
Well this place no city[00:02:01]
We're just small players here[00:02:04]
Like a million other heroes drinking poor man's beer[00:02:06]
We know what's right[00:02:11]
We're just living it wrong[00:02:13]
But there's no easy answer in the green man's song[00:02:15]
What do you do[00:02:19]
When your river's turning blue[00:02:23]
I walked down[00:03:00]
That boulder road[00:03:02]
Through a child's eye saw places where I used to go[00:03:04]
Where I crawled barefoot[00:03:09]
With a fishing pole[00:03:11]
To the rock that overlooked that steelhead hole[00:03:13]
But it's true[00:03:17]
Silver river turning blue[00:03:21]
Just got a late reaction[00:03:28]
Face reality and stare it down[00:03:31]
Sometimes it's harder hanging on[00:03:37]
Much easier to look around[00:03:41]
But I need that job[00:03:44]
