The dying light was nearly deadby the time we reached the water's edge. |
|
We saw the river beating on the river bank |
|
Oh the way that it (something) the riverbed. |
|
It's coldIt's dark |
|
It's not for people with uneasy hearts, |
|
But if you're with me on the other side |
|
Strike up the band; we have survived. |
|
Oh do they beat that drum to get you back home, |
|
Or do they beat it to keep you away? |
|
Don't be surprised at your regrets. |
|
Don't be surprised that the water made you wet. |
|
There's a shallow down river |
|
Where the water will forgive you, |
|
So spend your lukewarm bets |
|
Follow me, oh follow me; |
|
Allow me to play the voyager. |
|
I'll try to keep as dry |
|
As the hollowed out tree that |
|
You would be wrapped in another man's fur |
|
So Take a |
|
DiveOh Take a |
|
DiveOh take it out on the stepping stones that make the water rise |
|
So Take a |
|
DiveOh Take a |
|
DiveOhohohohoh |
|
Take that hair out of your damned eyes |
|
While the waves are away |
|
Now the sun will fade. |
|
Do they beat that drum to get you back home, |
|
Or do they beat it to keep you away? |
|
Will you burn your bridges down |
|
Singing lalalalalalala |
|
Will you burn your bridges down |
|
Singing lalalalalalala |
|
Will you bang your drum to the blazing sound |
|
Singing lalalalalalala |
|
Will you bang your drum to the blazing sound |
|
Singing lalalalalalala |
|
Will you turn away? |
|
How can you turn away? |
