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 ---
