Be There If I have to Swim
Once upon a time, a long time ago,
We got lost in the woods.
Strayed a little further,
Than a sensible someone else should.
Wasn't looking for trouble, wasn't looking for gold,
I knew it wasn't looking too good.
I lost my compass, I lost my northern star.
Now I'm talking with my best friend,
She's right in front of me,
Says I don't know where you are.
But I'll be there if I have to, be there if I have to,
Be there if I ahve to swim.
I was walking through the wasteland as a child,
I remember well,
Stepping on rusty nail.
Pop up through my shoe,
I was with my father and I cried.
I was young enough for that to be alright,
Old enough to feel like a fool.
She says some times I feel like that,
I feel like that now too.
I'll be there if i have to swim.
You don't have to speak,
Your face tells a story by itself.
I know sometimes you feel,
Like the girl at the bottom of the well.
Listen to the clatter, the chitter, chitter, chatter,
Of the voices overground,
In the overstretched city,
With it's head stuck in the clouds.
Where all the king's horses,
And all the king's men,
Are far too busy helping,
Somebody else.
Yeah you can fix it,
Buut your going to have to stick it,
Stick it back together yourself.
When your backs against the wall,
It's hard to stand tall and raise your voice and sing,
Hey, I know you,
I've seen you at your best,
You can rise above anything,
Richard McGraw is an excellent live performer and intricate lyricist in the vein of Cohen, Dylan and Cave before him. Here, he offers an album of stunning covers and one damn good original too. Niall Connolly
