I could never get close enough to your fire

And now that my flame’s gone out I won’t try

‘Cause I’m in water under and going down tired

And if there is life at the bottom, I’ll guess I’ll find out

Somehow I knew I wasn’t meant to burn on

And how could such darkness make any sense, I don’t know

Everything’s pulling like Easter, when something began

Everything’s moving toward something that’s already done

In the river I’m gone, in the river I’m gone

In the river I’m gone, in the river I’m gone

I can see your light on the surface, now it fades

I am still alive, in some second wave

I can hear singing some distant parade

Over and over I hear the same refrain

In the river I’m gone, in the river I’m gone

In the river I’m gone, in the river I’m gone

Come with your weary, come with your thirst

Come with your fading, come with your hurt

What is not is now, come with your doubt, come on

In the river I’m gone, in the river I’m gone

In the river I’m gone, in the river I’m gone

Come to the river, come with your burdens

Come to the river, come
