To Be Sung on the Water by Peter Maxwell Davies Lyrics

Sweet Thames, sweet Thames
Far, have I followed thee
God guard my people
Sweet Thames flow, soft
Burdened by my people
(deliver me from my people they are within.)
To Eden garden, unto Eden garden
In Hanover, Bermuda or New South Wales
Sweet Thames, flow soft. Evacuate my people
I am weary of this fate. I am alone
