lyrics

The Thames Runs Through It

Old stone bridge I love every inch of you
Old stone bridge I shall always stay true
Old stone bridge you’re my pride & joy
As I shall always be a West London boy.

Chorus
When I think of my life & I review it
When I think of my life the Thames runs through it
Mighty & proud it calls to me
Mighty & proud it comforts me.

Old stone bridge you’re my favourite memory
Old stone bridge that spans the centuries
Old stone bridge with my heart you’ll never toy
As I shall always be a West London boy.

Chorus

Old Embankment I will always believe in you
Old Embankment you’ll never make me blue
Old Embankment you’ll always be my world
For The Embankment was where I met the girl.

Chorus

Cold old city lonely in the crowd
Cold old city where no sunshine is allowed
Cold old city loud as the hoi polloi
As I shall always be a West London boy.

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Sad old river I love every inch of you
Sad old river you know that I’ll stay true
Sad old river you’ll always be my joy
As I shall always be a West London boy.

Chorus

When I think of my life & I review
When I think of my life the Thames runs through it
The Thames runs through it.
