Lyrics
Sometimes walking this path I know
Haven’t stopped to see the show
Listened to what friends have to say
Or paid attention to Nature’s way
Things get busier every day
More things to buy, more bills to pay
People say which row to hoe
Often against the natural flow
It’s like we're walking through a jungle
And sometimes we're walking blind
Afraid of what lies before us
Of a world that seems unkind
Don’t ignore the inner voice *
That reminds us of what we know
You've got to stop and look and listen
Walking, this path I know
Sometimes late in the night
I glimpse a splendid guiding light
Or see in a gentle river flow
The deep serenity of my soul
Sometimes within the common noise
When we feel there is no choice
A gentle stream still can flow
To calm the chaos of the world we know
It’s like we're walking through a jungle
And sometimes we're walking blind
Afraid of what lies before us
Of a world that seems unkind
Don’t ignore the inner voice *
That reminds us of what we know
You've got to stop and look and listen
Walking, this path I know

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
