I can't believe it's true I finally got you here I've been waiting for this moment for some years I’ve been torn down enough to know Everyone goes through this door Just before their lives explode Come in here with a heavy load Walking down the road watching the day begin Radio song is playing off in a distant wind But you can feel it it's a gentle love Coming out soft from the windows above Just when you have had enough Here comes the world you’ve been dreaming of Oh my my the Mystic River She takes your heart And you will forgive her Lay me down beside the water I look across at the sons and daughters Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon Even the stars at night they fade away too soon You can’t do much about the trouble life brings Cut all the lines so the phones don’t ring But stay here once from spring to spring Watching the ice melt the mornings sing Oh my my the Mystic River She takes your heart And you will forgive her Lay me down beside the water I miss my sons I miss my daughter now There’s a tree that grows out in the burning sands Never a drop of rain that nobody understands You can push me I don’t mind Leave me out here and I’ll be fine Cause everyone’s gonna have their time Up or down honey you decide Oh my my the Mystic River She takes your heart And you will forgive her Lay me down beside the water I miss my sons I miss my daughter now
