Testo Old Thames Side Richard Thompson
As I was walking down by old Thames side
Well my foot and my heart seemed to falter
For there you were standing by Custom House Landing
Like Venus risen out of the water
CHORUS
And theyâll say itâs because Iâm a fool in love
That I swear thereâs no beauty before you
But those that deny or think that I lie
Well those are the ones never saw you
O there never was anyone perfect as you
As you stood there and smiled to greet me
And I looked for a phrase to capture your ways
But thatâs a task will always defeat me
