River Whispers

I'll come undone, my wayward son

It's no easy street where I come from

Well, it's been so long since a cold dark night

I got a flame here and it's burning bright

Across the forest, across the sea

Life in the city ain't much for me

Where the water's clearer I'll be found

I never lost and I'm never found

And you're so far far away from home, poor boy

You're so far from where you've been

Well, river whispers carry me home

And let our bodies lay to rest

Where the gators swim, swear the clay mud sings

Oh, mighty river, please pull me in

Be my hands, my guiding light

Where have you been all my life?

You've never shown me any grace

The water hides tears from your face

And that's why I will always sing

I found my strength in suffering

And you're so far far away from home, poor boy

You're so far from where you've been

Well, river whispers carry me home

And let our bodies lay to rest

And you're so far far away from home, poor boy

You're so far from where you've been

Well, river whispers carry me home

River whispers carry me home

River whispers carry me home

And let our bodies lay to rest
