VERSE:
I guess he lost control, and welcomed in the night
It was too much for him, what were his thoughts that night?
The river thames is cold, it keeps on flowing on
But it left Dave alone, it just kept flowing on.

There was a place there where he lost himself
Strange feelings did he feel there, strange people
