lyrics

The Five Rise stole my breath,
But while the engines blown there will be no rest,
I’ll tow her along these inland navigations.
Down to Leigh and on to Lymm,
Frost cracked and rope burnt skin is asking,
‘Will we ever reach our destination?’

We will move amongst these hills,
And along the valley floor.
And I will open all the locks for you.
As light begins to fail me,
In tunnels and nights, a plenty,
She’ll hold the lantern to guide me through.

Oh rise, I’ll rise when the water rise,
Rise when the water’s rise.
Rise when the water’s rise.
And I’ll go down with you.

At Elsmere we gained strength,
We took on fuel and sustenance.
And so towards Birmingham’s Union waters.
But at Etoria, I put my hand in hers
As we clung to all those times we’d shared.
You don’t know home, until you get there.

But these ways are all I know,
Along my veins they flow,
And I will rove every inch of this land,
With our harvest yield and load.
The journey’s hard, the journey’s slow,
But I’m the navigation man

And I’ll rise, I’ll rise when the water rise,
Rise when the water’s rise.
Rise when the water’s rise.
And I’ll go down with you
