The River Lyrics

I drove down to the river side

Quite a lonely ride

And a useless fight

I found myself in a grove of trees

Follow me

for a lucid dream

'Chase it down, I say: chase it down'

Said the heart to me

'Before it's gone you see'

Before you were

Before you were

I drove on and on and so on

Till you dragged me through

Into the sun

'Come on up,' she'd say: 'Come on down

Don't you dwell on me, before it's gone you see'

Before you were

Before you were

If they could only see

The world as black as me

If they could only be

As close as you're to me

If they have only been

As sweet as you're with me

If they could only see,

See you're beautiful to me

I drove down to the river side

Quite a lonely ride

And a useless fight

It's a useless fight

A useless fight

It's a useless fight

It's so useless
