[00:15.99]	Spit into the center of your hometown,
[00:19.30]	there are leaves in the street,
[00:21.06]	and there are friends around you now.
[00:23.90]	All the days of your life in a line.
[00:28.70]
[00:31.39]	All the way it seemed by 89
[00:35.64]
[00:38.96]	But it's not all right.
[00:41.27]	It's not even close to all right.
[00:45.02]	Down a hall in your house,
[00:46.96]	down a road in December
[00:48.64]	（Down, down, down the deep river,
[00:50.02]	down, down, down the deep river）
[00:52.45]	Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
[00:56.08]	（Down, down, down the deep river,
[00:57.58]	down, down, down the deep river）
[00:59.83]	We lie awake at night in a tent and I say,
[01:03.01]	Tell me about your uncle and his friend
[01:05.11]	because they seem like very bad men.
[01:08.98]	Well we oughtta keep away from them.
[01:13.70]
[01:14.63]	Bend in the road back there,
[01:16.57]	we saw the place to go.
[01:18.88]
[01:22.38]	Tell me 'bout the greatest
[01:24.11]	show or the greatest movie you know
[01:27.55]	or the greatest song
[01:28.18]	that you taped from off the radio.
[01:31.25]	Play it again and again it
[01:32.49]	cuts off at the ending though.
[01:35.74]
[01:36.68]	Tell me I'm always gonna
[01:38.18]	be your best friend.
[01:39.60]	Now you said it one time,
[01:41.12]	why don't you say it again?
[01:43.18]	All the way down the line
[01:45.06]	to where the telephone ends
[01:46.88]	come on and shout it on down the wire.
[01:49.68]
[01:52.87]	And it's not all right.
[01:55.18]	It's not even close to all right.
[01:58.68]	Down a hall in your house,
[02:00.51]	down a road in December
[02:02.31]	（Down, down, down the deep river,
[02:04.12]	down, down, down the deep river）
[02:06.18]	Down a hall in your house,
[02:07.87]	down a road in December
[02:09.74]	（Down, down, down the deep river,
[02:11.37]	down, down, down the deep river）
[02:13.56]	And as the rescue party,
[02:15.76]	the volunteer team ah,
[02:17.53]	they're just kids of eighteen,
[02:19.15]	and it's the worst thing
[02:20.27]	they've seen they're standing all around that tree,
[02:22.90]	and I'm so sorry that I can't stop crying.
[02:26.55]
[02:28.24]	（Oh, I know.）
[02:29.68]
[02:43.62]	Shivering from the late fall cold,
[02:46.43]	I felt like a solid ghost.
[02:49.05]	I ran and then I couldn't slow.
[02:52.24]	My father found me though,
[02:54.36]	my father took me home.
[02:56.61]
[02:57.80]	He said, Oh, son,
[02:58.80]	I saw you get knocked down,
[03:01.12]	and I ran out I bet your head was spinning.
[03:05.19]	With that bright pain you stunned,
[03:07.31]	when you've only just begun
[03:09.06]	to be only just beginning.
[03:10.81]
[03:12.57]	Tossed in the viper pit,
[03:14.45]	all those feelings and fears,
[03:16.21]	and all that difficult shit in
[03:18.24]	all those tender years.
[03:20.05]	There was something in the air;
[03:21.99]	something gathered in the air.
[03:23.86]	Something singing in the wind.
[03:26.36]	I'll be your fighter and you'll be my mirror.
[03:30.18]	And you'll be all right because I'll be right here.
[03:34.30]	Oh kid, now I'm not going anywhere.
[03:36.61]	I swear I'll try to not be going anywhere.
[03:40.86]
[03:43.50]	Though it's not all right. It is so far from all right.
[03:48.57]	We'll make it into a choice somehow.
[03:51.52]	I don't know, but you'll have a choice somehow.
[03:56.90]	Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
[04:00.79]	（Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river）
[04:04.28]	We can never go back; we can only remember
[04:08.16]	（Down, down, down the deep river,
[04:09.72]	down, down, down the deep river）
[04:13.26]
[04:26.58]	Maybe they told you 'bout the summer sky,
[04:29.17]	maybe they said there's a great gold spirit in the summer sky
[04:34.42]	or all your friends （all your best, best friends）
[04:37.50]	are gonna gather around your bed at night.
[04:42.63]	Well that'll make it all right
[04:44.25]	because it is still so far from all right.
[04:47.63]
[04:51.19]	Oh, kid, I know.
[04:54.07]
[04:55.88]	Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
[04:59.56]	（Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river）
[05:03.46]	Up the stairs four flights, son; can you feel my heart shiver?
[05:07.24]	（Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river）
[05:10.79]	Wakin' in the dawn with that dream getting dimmer and dimmer.
[05:14.97]
[05:16.68]	I said, Are we going down the deep river? Down the deep river?
[05:25.38]
[05:31.14]	Why don't you say you still see it, say you remember? Are we going down?
[05:44.85]
[05:47.98]	Are we going down the deep river? Because I know it's scary, baby.
