I'm going down to the river, I'm gonna look for you I know you'll be waiting there, 'cause it's a woman's trick I'm gonna give you what you want, 'cause you've been asking And I don't even want to know your name But you'll remember mine You will remember my name You will remember my name You will remember my name, my name Like the nights in the movies, I'll be waiting And the days in the heat of her vengeance You'll know what I've wanted, what she wouldn't admit I'll show her, I'll show the world, just what they asked for And they'll remember my name They will remember my name They will remember my name They will remember my name And what you want most will elude you What you want most will elude you 'Cause everything, before it changes, seems to be made of gold Made of gold Made of gold Made of gold In some strange way I'm preparing myself for you I've been waiting all my life But I won't give you what you want, I won't fight I will live, and tell, and you will remember me, you'll remember my name You will remember my name You will remember my name You will remember my name, my name You'll try to hide me under the mattress, with all your other short sins But I'll come back, the click in my spine Will order our lives like a metronome You can't shut it off You can't shut it off You can't shut it off You can't shut it off And what you want most will elude you What you want most will elude you 'Cause everything, before it changes, seems to be made of gold Made of gold Made of gold Made of gold Made of gold And like the river, you will remember my song 'Cause love is a heartbeat away from here
