The River

And they came to the river

And they came from the road

And he wanted the sun

Just to call his own

And they walked on the dirt

And they walked from the road

'Til they came to the river

'Til they came up close

Throw your pain in the river

Throw your pain in the river

Leave your pain in the river

To be washed away slow

And we walked without words

And we walked with our lives

Two silent birds circled by

Like a pain in the river

And the pain in the river

And the white sun scattered

Washed away this slow

And we followed the river

And we followed the road

And we walked through this land

And we called it a home

But he wanted the sun

And I wanted the whole

And the white light scatters

And the sun sets low

Like a pain in the river

Like a pain in the river

Like a white light scatters

To be washed away slow

Like a pain in the river

Like a pain in the river

Like the way life scattered

To be washed away slow
