LAST NIGHT I WENT DOWN TO THE RIVER
BUT THE RIVER WAS DRYI ALWAYS FOLLOWED MY HEART
DOWN EVERY DEVILS ROAD
BUT I ALWAYS SEEM TO HURT MYSELF
NO MATTER WHERE I GO
WITH ONE EYE ON SALVATION
THE OTHER ON THE FIRES ON EARTH
I SAY, IT'S ALL THE SAME
THIS NEVER ENDING THIRST
LAST NIGHT I WENT DOWN TO THE RIVER
BUT THE RIVER WAS DRYI WANDER THROUGH THE DUSTY DAY
I WADE INTO THE NIGHT
TO WASH AWAY THIS LONELINESS
WHEN THERE'S NO LOVE IN SIGHT
THIS DESERT HAS A CRAZY WAY
OF PREYING ON YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS
WELL WELL THIS WORLD, THIS WORLD
IS NOTHING LIKE IT SEEMS
EMPTY WORDS LIKE BONES
THEY LITTER THE SAND
AS I SEE MY LAST CHANCES
SLIP THROUGH MY HAND
WELL THE RAIN NEVER CAME
AND THE SUN HAS LEFT ME BLIND
WHEN WILL I BE SAVED?LAST NIGHT I WENT DOWN TO THE RIVER
BUT THE RIVER WAS DRYSteve Boyd
