Stare at a picture But there's nothing for it I pull on the bottle And watch this river Roll on by Trying to find purpose Trying to see meaning Trying to make sense of The nonsense I call my life 'Cause only this river Can bare me to safety Only this river Can bare me away Mmmhmmm See them all work and play There on the other bank Warm in their houses While I face my cold alone Guess I've been drinking away To keep the wolves of my mind at bay But if you run You die I'm just to tired to care 'Cause only this river Can bare me to safety Only this river Can bare me away I feel her flowing Flowing right through me I hear the whispsers Drowning my words Mmm 'Cause only this river Only this river Only this river Can save me From myself Where did my soul go? Where did my spirit hide? Why won't they rescue me From the pain of the mind 'Cause only this river In all of her glory Only this river Can bare me away Only this river Only this river Only this river Mmmhmm
