The Riverflow

I met you in eight two, over a crate of beer and not a few

I cracked a can and so did you, we're going to change the world

The ghetto kings of downside town-the estates and parks of our hallowed ground

Doing anything that we found, and on the river flowedYou'd take a drink from Rev. Jimmy Jones

You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams

Thrown aside and left to waste, that was you, you knew your place

Wander round, get off your face, and on the river flowedOn and on the river flow, we are the undertow

On and on the river flow, we are the undertowI don't know how you made it through all the smoke and brew you do

It sure has left its mark on you but you're still with us today

Life goes on and round we go and words can kill these things I know

Sometimes you cut deeply so, but on the river flowsYou'd set the table for barber Sweeney Todd

You'd clip the wings of any rising god

But man can't live on hope alone, it can be cut all that is grown

Broke your spirit but not your bones and on the river flowsOn and on the river flow, we are the undertow

On and on the river flow, we are the undertowYou're working now, forced to the race I know it left a bitter taste

But the rising tide had covered your face

Nothing you could do

But I still remember the day you said

That the river flowing through my head

Would take me far or leave me dead

And all you said was true
