about

This song was supposed to be called Axum Bridge but due to a mishearing of the first line became known as Cirencester

lyrics

the silence of the siren's sister says we will ride, we will arrive on time
the passing of the mermaid's breath says we can ride, we can ride all night.
we can ride, ride all night.
The line on the map says this path, this path has been trod before
The fact that there's a warning sign says, says to me there's nothing we can do that can’t be done.

The warning by the water side says beware the line, this river is apt to flood
there was a warning put up at the bottom of the hill said this bridge, this bridge is apt to be gone
And you and I we stood there and wondered who builds a bridge at the peak of river in the sharpest point in the flow
and it was somebody else said someone who wanted to get across just once, just once
just get across once

We will ride
we will ride

segosa madela segosa madela
say it's a soldier of Arc just to wander across
say it's a murder say it's a murder
say it's a river there's a one way to cross
There's a flood come There's a flood come
There's a river gonna wash away the bridge like a
There's a flood come There's a flood come
There's a river gonna wash away the bridge like before
segosa madela segosa madela
say it's a soldier of Arc just to wander across
say it's a murder say it's a murder
say it's a river there's a one way to cross
There's a flood come There's a flood come
There's a river gonna wash away the bridge like a
There's a flood come There's a flood come
There's a river gonna wash away the bridge like before

The fact that there's a warning sign says, says to me there's nothing we can do that hasn’t been done.
