THE MYSTIC RIVER Lyrics

THE MYSTIC RIVER

By: Ken David

To make out in a land, where you become a man

No race will ever be ran, but boats will go where they can

Around an island on the Mystic River

Please make sure who you are before you travel too far

It's easy losing your mind in a world of its kind

And there's an island on the Mystic River

I look once toward empty space

I look again to see a face

It's not that of a birthday boy

It's not a look that's filled with joy

An angry smile, an eerie style

The show has yet to begin

On the Mystic River

I light a candle to see what other than darkness surrounds me

The wind chills the flame and astounds me

The rain pouring down's gonna drown me

But I've not known before of the likes

On the Mystic River

Stay for the rest of the day

You'll like the games we can play

As we're sailing away

On the Mystic River

On The Mystic River
