River of Souls--lyric

Post by Lightning Rod » November 22nd, 2009, 11:33 am

I went down to the river, babe
it was lonely, it was cold
it was a moonlight ribbon
smelled of tears and mold

you know the night was silent
as the hushed wing of an owl
the darkness, kept its secrets
what was sweet, what was foul

the river it knew everything
what was asked and what was told
the river it knew everything
what was bought and what was sold
the river it knew everything
what was new and what was old

It must have been the river
the river of souls

way down in Casablanca
to the left bank of the Seine
the river it knew everything
the aching joy, the pain
the river it knew everything
even things you can't explain

it must have been that river
must have been that river of souls

Deeper than the Amazon
Longer than the Nile
the river it knew everything
every frown and every smile
the river it knows everything
every folder, every file

it must have been the river
must have been that river of souls

Stumble to the Trinity
The Mississippi old
the river it knows everything
The Colorado bold
the river it knows everything
the stories never told

it must have been the river
must have been that river of souls
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

With trance-like music, and a blue light show.
Got me sittin on the banks.
Good feelings all around.

take care......
