| I was born on the banks of Eternity
|
| A page of the history it teaches
|
| Not a care, lived my life like a hurricane
|
| Leaving everything along the way in pieces
|
| Some may have cheered, some may have wondered
|
| If I am flesh, if I am stone
|
| Thoughts of you tear through me like thunder
|
| You are the light that has led me back home
|
| Take me to the river, baby
|
| Wash away the lies
|
| I’ve got no reputation living in your eyes
|
| Take me to Eternity
|
| Let me bury this disguise
|
| A Southern boy has it harder sometimes
|
| It’s like you were climbing a razor
|
| You were there when my dreams had all turned to dust
|
| And the man in the mirror was a stranger
|
| Look at me now, a soulless survivor
|
| No mask can hide the man that I’ve made
|
| You ease my pain. |
| You make it silent
|
| Slowly I feel it beginning to fade
|
| Take me to the river, baby
|
| Wash away the lies
|
| I’ve got no reputation living in your eyes
|
| Take me to Eternity
|
| Let me bury this disguise
|
| I want to feel it
|
| Rushing over me into the tide
|
| I want to taste it
|
| Every moment 'til the end of my life!
|
| I have laid still, adrift in your memory
|
| Hoping your faith would erase all the years
|
| Maybe some time, maybe some magic
|
| Maybe your love will make everything clear
|
| Take me to the river, baby
|
| Wash away the lies
|
| I’ve got no reputation living in your eyes
|
| Take me to Eternity
|
| Let me bury this disguise
|
| Take me to the river, baby
|
| Wash away the lies
|
| There are no expectations hiding in your eyes
|
| Take me to Eternity
|
| Let me bury this. |
