Oh dirty river I know you so well I'm glad you're still here Everything else went to hell And now it's over You call me down I'd tell you everything But it's hard to remember now Oh dirty river Where do you end? Oh gentle water You may be my closest friend Oh torrent of love Where do you end? Oh gentle starlight You may be my closest friend Walk around the timid town Talking shit to the night Gus says despite the evidence It's gonna be alright But I do wonder What the future will bring Will we stand empty handed With nothing but songs to sing I've got to go now I'm not sure where There's a world inside me There's a world out there And will you still be here When I return? Whispering once more to me It's time to unlearn everything you've learned Oh dirty river Where do you begin? Oh gentle water You may be my closest friend Oh torrent of love Where do you begin? Oh gentle starlight You may be my closest friend You may be my closest friend You may be my closest friend Come on the night is young, it's just a child It's waiting for you but it won't wait long Let's go to the old graveyard and kiss beside some forgotten tomb Before day breaks and all the lost souls come around asking for you It's ok the night is young, it's just a child Babe, the night is young, it's just a child It's just a child It's just a child It's just a child
