|
When i speak the words i repeat |
|
Are lost within this roaring |
|
And when i call your eyes turn to me |
|
But what are they exploring ? |
|
Hidden shapes that pass fast away |
|
Apon the waters streaming |
|
And what i see i just cannot say |
|
There is no one to heed me |
|
I could say that i am sorry |
|
But what forgiveness lies before me ? |
|
In the river |
|
Those who know me know all too well |
|
All my sins and failings |
|
But brother dear, how could i tell ? |
|
The course that i was sailing |
|
In the flood, before my eyes |
|
I see the face that i despise |
|
In the river |
|
It's mine, it's mine |
|
Drifting far away |
|
I can see you'rte not very strong |
|
As the current sweeps you past me |
|
And i can see your head going down |
|
As helpless your cries find me |
|
"Help me! Save me! Lend me a hand! |
|
Pull me out! Pull me out! |
|
Save me! Save me! Give me your hand! |
|
Pull me out! Pull me out!" |
|
I would save you, give my life |
|
But it's already sacrificed |
|
To the river |
|
It's gone, it's gone |
|
Drifitng far away |
|
Mothers tell your children the truth |
|
Don't hide the fate that's waiting |
|
When you're born you start to drown |
|
There's no help, no safety |
|
First a gift of love is given |
|
Then the winds rise, the sails are riven |
|
On the river |
