[offset:0] [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.
