ralph mctell - barges lyrics
me and my brother returned to the water
i saw a pike that was two feet long.
two small magicians, each with a jam jar
cast spells on the water with hazel twig wands.
country boys catch tadpoles, dive into water
made shy by their laughter, we wandered down stream
and summer rolled o’er us with no complications
‘cept thinking of mama sometimes in dreams.
stand by the drawbridge, waiting for barges
waiting around for smiles from the man.
lifting the bridge whilst watching the horses
dragging the slow boats up the c-n-l.
i do remember the times but no number
after the day, but before evening comes
waiting for castles and kettles with roses
painted on barges that sailed into the sun.
oh, see the river run, that was by man begun
open the locks, let the boats sail on,
taking their castles and kettles with roses
with summers of childhood leaving smiles on the man.
