Big River - Jimmy Nail[00:00:00]

Walking on cobble stone little bits of skin and bone[00:00:19]

Jumping on the tram car for a ride[00:00:27]

I can remember then I was just a boy of ten[00:00:36]

Hanging out along the old quayside[00:00:44]

Not all the capstans and the cargo boats[00:00:53]

And stevadores are gone[00:00:58]

To where all the old ships go[00:01:01]

But memories just like the seas live on[00:01:04]

That was when coal was king[00:01:10]

The river was a living thing[00:01:14]

And I was just a boy but it was mine[00:01:18]

The coaly tyne[00:01:24]

For this was a big river[00:01:28]

I want you all to know that I was proud[00:01:34]

This was a big river but that was long ago[00:01:41]

Thats not now thats not now[00:01:50]

My father was a working man[00:02:01]

He earned our living with his hands[00:02:05]

He had to cross the river every day[00:02:09]

He picked up a union card out of the neptune yard[00:02:17]

Mouths to feed and the bills to pay[00:02:26]

Then came a time for him to sail across the sea[00:02:35]

And far away[00:02:41]

Finally when the war was won[00:02:43]

You brought him home and home he stayed[00:02:47]

And when his days were done under a golden sun[00:02:52]

You carried him to where he longed to be[00:03:00]

Back to the sea[00:03:06]

For this was a big river[00:03:10]

I want you all to know that I was proud[00:03:15]

This was a big river but that was long ago[00:03:23]

Thats not now[00:03:32]

Thats not now[00:03:36]

Thats not now[00:03:49]

The neptune was the last to go[00:03:59]

I heard it on my radio[00:04:04]

And then they played the latest number one[00:04:08]

But what do they do all day[00:04:16]

And what are they supposed to say[00:04:21]

What does a father tell his son[00:04:25]

If you believed that theres a bond between our future[00:04:33]

And our past[00:04:40]

Then try to hold on to what we had[00:04:42]

We build them strong we built to last[00:04:46]

Cause this is a mighty town[00:04:50]

Its built upon solid ground[00:04:55]

And everything they tried so hard to kill[00:04:59]

We will rebuild[00:05:05]

For this was a big river[00:05:09]

I want you all to know that I was proud[00:05:14]

This was a big river but that was long ago[00:05:22]

Thats not now[00:05:31]

This is a big river[00:05:35]

And in my heart I know it will rise again[00:05:40]

The river will rise again[00:05:46]
