Sweet Alice Brook runs under the road
Brimming with life and free
A wandering angel with a bright sunlit smile
That hides all the sadness she feels

Now she's not the longest or even the prettiest
Not many curves or bends
But she brings her beauty wherever she goes
And her shores have launched many young men

Whenever the world starts spinning too fast
She slows it down for me
Tender and lovely this nature girl is
Always there for me

But somewhere upstream
Somebody carelessly
Dirtied her waters each night
But she carried on strong
And gave it her all
And put up a real good fight

But the years of poison had taken their toll
And Alice could not survive
And on a late April thaw she danced her last waltz
And I watched her wave good-bye

Whenever the world was spinning too fast
She slowed it down for me
And we're all the richer for knowing her
And the poorer for letting her die

I went for a walk 20 years on
In search of a long gone friend
For I never told her how much she meant
To me and a dream that won't end

That somewhere beneath the concrete and steel
Sweet Alice Brook flows again
