listen to the story 'bout the man who tried
sink my pains and complains
oh the london river
start
pitched the tent on a patch of ground
and the story goes
take me with you towards the light
up late with the hollowed out eyes
mama knew if i was missing
That's why
toward the light on the other side. it's always there when there's another wide river to cross. oh the whirlpools twist and pull at me
Out for kicks and in for trouble
well i first kissed you on a hollow log
now forever
now forever
i took your microphone

the river

he drank so long and he drank so hard
river drown them
first time that i set my eyes upon her
well
lit a fire and drank some wine
where once was burning sand
hear me
trying every last trouble on for size
down by river
I go to the river, but the river don't wash me clean
but it's another wide river to cross. it's another wide river to cross. another wide river to cross. but i believe that there's a resting place that's provided just for me
Take a look in the dark water
we fell in love and we vowed that day
ride the river. ride the river in this boat
ride the river. ride the river in this boat
i took your microphone
