I've drifted down in the water
To see reflections of my face
Sung a thousand hymns in the desert
To join the tempest' mournful stage
But in every place I've run and every place I've bode
Taught me I know nothing about love
And I've swam a thousand oceans
To wash my sins all clean
Been dancing down in the river
To let the water cover me
But no matter how hard I try
I'll wander till I die
I've tasted the lips of a woman
Who said my soul was in her grasp
Saw the devil deep in her green eyes
And all the angels at her back
But every place I've run she haunts my soul
To show me I know nothing about love
And I've swam a thousand oceans
To wash my spirit clean
Been dancing down in the river
To let the water cover me
But no matter how hard I try
I'll wander till I die
I gazed in the burning branches
To behold the Lion's face
A blinded eye and fiery ashes
Pulled me into his embrace
But every place I've run, Every seed I sow
Proves that I know nothing about love
And I've swam a thousand oceans
To wash my spirit clean
Been dancing down in the river
To let the water cover me
But no matter how hard I try
I'll wander till I die
