The River Songtext
von Jason Charles Miller

Kneeling down by the river
Another day panning for gold
Can′t even remember what I got to sell my soul
Well it's all kind of blurry
Can′t see through the haze
So I'm down on my knees just praying for better days

Well I know it wasn't love
And I know it wasn′t money
Might as well have been the liquor ′cause my head feels kinda funny
And I know it wasn't strength
And I know it wasn′t power
'Cause I′m going blind, getting weaker by the hour

Oh, it must've been the river
′Cause it keeps calling me back home
Back home


Every ripple's just another memory
Every wave's another sweet song
′Bout the years gone by and the tales of right and wrong

So I looked into the water
Yeah, I looked down deep
Then the darkness looked back and said "Your soul is mine to keep"

So I jumped into that shameful cold
Razzle the man river for my sinful soul
As he dragged me to the bottom
I lost my last breath
Then I put him in a stranglehold
And I dug him out of that deep dark cold
And I ripped my spirit from his withered hands, oh
Oh

Oh, you can′t trust that river
If it's calling you, you best just walk on by
Walk on by

Kneeling down by the river
Crawling away from the shore
Ain′t gonna turn my back on the river no more
