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 piecesSome 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 homeTake 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 disguiseA 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 strangerLook 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 fadeTake 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 disguiseI wanna feel it rushing over me into the tide
I wanna taste it, every moment till the end of my lifeI 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 clearTake 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 disguiseTake me to the river, baby, wash away the lies
There were no expectations hiding in your eyes
Take me to eternity
Let me bury this disguise
