Jefferson, I heard your tears fall down over the fall of the rain
What is you and I? We're never that much the same
Rain on the road across the Delaware, nearly washed us away
How come philosophy folds in the light of the day?
How come the leprosy ate everything away?
A piece of the west broke away
A piece of the west broke away
Away, yeah
We are worn like the river stones
Away
Away, yeah
We are bones on the river stones
Washed up like the river stones
In Bethlehem, a baby boy was born -- born to build a bomb
What was the fighting for, who remembers the song?
The boy was king, he was a prodigy; in love with everything
Why did the kingdom come and spit on everyone?
And why the confusion, son, the closer we cling to the gun?
The fall of the west begun
A piece of the west broke away
Away, yeah
We are worn like the river stones
Away
Away, yeah
They are bones on the river stones
Washed up like the river stones
In Pennsylvania, there's a bridge that broke -- the water washed it on by
What is you and I, ? under the tide
Jefferson we should have listened, should have answered the call
But what did you want from me? Now the west will fall
And who did you hope to be? Now the west will fall
Yeah, now the west will fall
Yeah, now the west will fall
Yeah, now the west will fall
Now the west fall
Away, yeah
We are worn like the river stones
Away
Away, yeah
They are bones on the river stones
Washed up like the river stones
Rattle the river stones
We are worn like the river stones
