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?
