[Verse 1] I am looking at serenity Serenity, wont you wait for me Two dark eyes on a summers day Thirst for what will wash away [Verse 2] Followed the day down into the night Spirits sail on the pale street light And on the hill across the town London Bridge is afallin down [Chorus] By the banks, by the banks Where the water sounds like rain I will lay my head On the bed weve made [Verse 3] Build it up with wood and clay Wood and clay will wash away Iron bows, steel will bend Tear it down to build it up again [Verse 4] And I will break the wall, Ill feel the rain And two dark eyesll build it up again And Im stuck lookin at the stream of light That fills the air in my lungs tonight [Chorus] By the banks, by the banks Where the water sounds like rain I will lay my head On the bed weve made [Verse 5] Over the land of silver and gold People are living to sell their soul Of anything good, somethin aint right Hangin around in the air tonight [Chorus] By the banks, by the banks Where the water sounds like rain I will lay my head On the bed weve made
