|
Where the river runs to black |
|
I take the schoolbooks from your pack |
|
Plastics, wire and your kiss |
|
The breath of eternity on your lips |
|
In the crowded marketplace |
|
I drift from face to face |
|
I hold my breath and close my eyes |
|
I hold my breath and close my eyes |
|
And I wait for paradise |
|
And I wait for paradise |
|
The Virginia hills have gone to brown |
|
Another day, another sun goin' down |
|
I visit you in another dream |
|
I visit you in another dream |
|
I reach and feel your hair |
|
Your smell lingers in the air |
|
I brush your cheek with my fingertips |
|
I taste the void upon your lips |
|
And I wait for paradise |
|
And I wait for paradise |
|
I search for you on the other side |
|
Where the river runs clean and wide |
|
Up to my heart the water rise |
|
Up to my heart the water rise |
|
I sink 'neath the water cool and clear |
|
Drifting down, I disappear |
|
I see you on the other side |
|
I search for the peace in your eyes |
|
But they're as empty as paradise |
|
They're as empty as paradise |
|
I break above the waves |
|
I feel the sun upon my face |
