Gently Down The Stream Songtext
von Hem

Boys, out of your shoes -
Cast off from the high rugged bluffs
That you′ve held onto.

Laid out from the spin,
The cold currents from St. James Infirmiry
Pull you in.

Row row row this old boat down to the sea.


Out here in the blue,
The sheer cliffs there at Montague Terrace
Still call to you.

Row row row this old boat down to the start of the sea.
You can search this wide world over and never find me.

Lights swing on the shore -
Your hand has been holding the lantern in store.

Row row row this dear old boat as we go to the sea.
You can search this wide world over and never find me.
