Lonely swan, swimming along

Across the waters blue

It sometimes pours, it’s sometime wrong

But here you’re away from the madding throng

Thinking, sometimes sinking

You make your way through life

Until the time comes, you have moved along

Deep breath

You’re back, now more strong

River Chew, who are you?

Wending your way through my strife

From the Mendips, to the lake

Your way makes my heart ache

Slowly, providing, the means of life
