Lyrics
- The bridge down by the river
With arches overhead
It’s home-like there, to me that’s where
Each night I make my bed
Chorus:
Underneath the arches
I dream my dreams away
Underneath the arches
On cobblestones I lay
Every night you’ll find me
Tired out and worn
Happy when the daylight comes creeping
Heralding the dawn
Sleeping when it’s raining
And sleeping when it’s fine
I hear the trains rattling by above
Pavement is my pillow
No matter where I stray
Underneath the arches
I dream my dreams away
- It’s just a friendly jungle
It has an open door
A lovely spot, drop in, why not?
There’s always room for more
