As I walked out one evening	A
Walking down Bristol Street	B
The crowds upon the pavement	C
Were fields of harvest wheat	B
	-
And down by the brimming river	D
I heard a lover sing	A
Under an arch of the railway	E
Love has no ending	A
	-
I'll love you dear I'll love you	F
Till China and Africa meet	B
And the river jumps over the mountain	G
And the salmon sing in the street	B
	-
I'll love you till the ocean	G
Is folded and hung up to dry	H
And the seven stars go squawking	A
Like geese about the sky	H
	-
The years shall run like rabbits	I
For in my arms I hold	J
The Flower of the Ages	K
And the first love of the world	L
	-
But all the clocks in the city	M
Began to whirr and chime	N
O let not Time deceive you	F
You cannot conquer Time	N
	-
In the burrows of the Nightmare	O
Where Justice naked is	P
Time watches from the shadow	Q
And coughs when you would kiss	R
	-
In headaches and in worry	M
Vaguely life leaks away	E
And Time will have his fancy	M
To morrow or to day	E
	-
Into many a green valley	M
Drifts the appalling snow	Q
Time breaks the threaded dances	K
And the diver's brilliant bow	S
	-
O plunge your hands in water	D
Plunge them in up to the wrist	T
Stare stare in the basin	G
And wonder what you've missed	T
	-
The glacier knocks in the cupboard	U
The desert sighs in the bed	V
And the crack in the tea cup opens	W
A lane to the land of the dead	V
	-
Where the beggars raffle the banknotes	X
And the Giant is enchanting to Jack	Y
And the Lily white Boy is a Roarer	D
And Jill goes down on her back	Y
	-
O look look in the mirror	D
O look in your distress	Z
Life remains a blessing	A
Although you cannot bless	Z
	-
O stand stand at the window	Q
As the tears scald and start	A2
You shall love your crooked neighbour	D
With your crooked heart	A2
	-
It was late late in the evening	A
The lovers they were gone	B2
The clocks had ceased their chiming	A
And the deep river ran on	C2
