Take me back to the river's edge
I wandered out alone
Never thought I was coming home
Take me back to the river's edge
No one need ever know
In your father's eyes, I'm not enough
There's a fire that goes out when I'm alone
Take me back to the river's edge
Any day now, I will be coming home
Nobody else need ever know
Take me back to the river's edge
Down where the water was calm
Sun setting heavy, behind all the trees below
Thought I saw a sign in the sky
It was just your reflection above
Spend our whole lives, running from those we love
There's a fire that goes out when I'm alone
Take me back to the river's edge
Any day now, I will be coming home
No one else need ever know that I went out alone
