John Kay Giles of the River Lyrics:
Words and music by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen

I spent my life twenty years in the basin My only
friend was a man of much more He lied with power
in his weary eyes 'till day came And all at once I
knew his name

Giles of the river...comin' in to make my precious
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/1AWP ]
day Giles of the river...comin' in to tell one
tale and take My breath away...and he's on his way

He took me down through good times late departed
And through the world as it was and will be By bad
self I watched you as you hung your head out my
door But you won't grieve me no more
