I know that d**h hides in my eyes And screams from my song I've left the bright lights Left for the river without bridges Slow and silent: In it's waters I can dream of peace I know of no hope Down and into the flood will be my way And to my hangman I will bow My scaffold will follow me down
Sing as the soul falls Over the water your voice lingers Just be by my side When the river sweeps my feet away Though I gave you no hope And all you love I repaid with pain I will go down Stay with me My light is all gone Stay with me
