Levellers

Levellers - Maid Of The River lyrics

She's the maid of the river

So beautifully plain

As fresh as the country

That gave her her name

As crisp as the snow

And as swift as the rain

She shone like the sun

Before all of our games

She shone like a jewel

But her price was not gold

She cried more than most

When her story was told

But her people were evil

Left her baron and cold

And her heart went to market

Where her body was sold

Chorus

I said hey hey won't you take me away

Because I can't see the point

In the dawn of the day

When so many killers gonna take you away

And leave little left except hatred

She's the goddess of love

The goddess in green

The goddess of all

That I've ever seen

Goddess of hope

The goddess in brown

The goddess of all

That you've burned to the ground

Chorus

There's all kind of hatred

Flows out of man's hands

There's the hatred that strangles

The throat of a man

But the worst of all hatred

Is that which is planned

Against what we have

In this goddess of land

Chorus
