From the recording Simple Things
Lyrics
On the Jersey side of the river, the mending's already begun
The net needs attention to meet its intention
Under the dawning sun
On the banks of the Delaware River, laboring side by side
The net needs repairing and so the preparing
Begins by the rising tide
Silhouettes sprinkle the horizon
As geese flock down below
Children observe as they gather
It's the only world that they know
In Gloucester they meet on the banks, they gather to toil as one
The net that must weather what holds them together
Through whatever in life must be done
Children observe as they gather
It's the only world that they know
