The Village

Where did I go, how did I come to reach this place?
If only I’d learned to let them hold me
There’s a beggar with gold, said he made a village built with clay
Before it all got washed away
Oo-ooh ooh, oo-ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oo-ooh ooh, ooh
Oo-ooh ooh, oo-ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oo-ooh ooh…
Down by the river, where the river is so cold
And the older women come to play
Steady my heart, 'cause the pattern of your soul
Is spoken in the rhythm of yesterday
Na-na na, ye-yeah, yeah yeah
Na-na na-a-ah, ye-y yeah
Na-na na, ye-yeah, yeah yeah
Na-na na-a-ah, ye-y yeah…
Where did I go, how did I come to reach this place?
If only I’d let the beggars show me
To the valley of gold, where once stood the village build with clay
Before it all got washed away
