| Last night I went out walking
|
| Out on the edge of town
|
| Not going no place special
|
| Only wandering around
|
| I came upon a river
|
| I thought about what you’d said
|
| And couldn’t stop it flowing
|
| And running through my head
|
| You said that I’ve been changing
|
| And never seemed to laugh
|
| But I can’t recall the last time you smiled
|
| And it’s tearing me in half
|
| I want to run and tell you
|
| The thoughts that are in my head
|
| But I don’t think that you’d believe
|
| A single word I said
|
| The river’s water runs so cool
|
| It calms my burning skin
|
| It takes away my aching thoughts
|
| And cleanses all my sin
|
| So let it flow on, take me down
|
| To sleep that quiet sleep
|
| And roll my body back to you
|
| My love you may always keep |
