What song..

[DieselGriff]

Would be grateful for some help identifying a song, first heard by me a few years ago at a friends funeral. He was into his rock and this song was of that genre, the lyrics were suitable for a funeral (the song was picked by him knowing that he was not going to survive) and were something like "Down by the river" or "Down by the docks" or "I'm going to take a walk down by the.."

It was a quite moving song that did appear to my befuddled mind to be about dying but googling the above phrases doesn't seem to produce the right result.

Any help appreciated.

Not Bruce Springsteen? (Can't do youtube at work).

[DieselGriff]

Thanks for your suggestions, but none of these so far.

It was a bit more "rock" than the men at work track, and nothing as popular (I think)as Otis

Richard Marx - Hazard..?

Thanks Claire, not that one, it was the singer in the first person he was going to die no one else.

Cheers

Right sort of level of "Heaviness", maybe a bit more Iron Maiden style.

Thanks.

Not very Iron Maiden-ish but Phil does quite worked up on this track
