about
Down By The Riverside flows and builds like the Hakatere (the river that severs Tinwald from Ashburton, the small town where Edward grew up), wandering through arresting chronicles and feel changes until it bursts into an escalating coda.
lyrics
Lyrics:
Took a trip to the back of my mind
Found myself down by the riverside
Heard a man screaming at the sky
He made no sense but he sure did try
Down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside on the edge of town in the back of my mind
A lonely dog sits under a tree and if she could talk, oh the things she’s seen
I see a rope hanging over a swimming hole and my brother making
that water explode
Down by the riverside.
Down by the riverside on the edge of town in the back of my mind
We left our shoes and ran upstream, it’s not clear what we were thinking.
Before we jumped we didn’t ask would the current let us pass
Down by the riverside.
