Songteksten

[Verse 1]
This is the progress of love that I feared
You retreat, just as my defeat finally neared
When it's only to lose myself, I volunteered
So all of your spoils could be mine
[Verse 2]
Life takes root in the deepest dark ground
Where bones, blood, and honor
Have been trampled down
And beaten like ponies and driven to town
Where reason is traded for rhyme
[Verse 3]
Your sailor is my lawyer
Your seamstress suits my king
But you are the mouth of the river
At the start of my every dream
[Verse 4]
Some young punk cut a wire
The sun fell in the yard
We gathered round it and we kicked it hard
We passed around flowers and wine and we cried
[Verse 5]
Oh, Lord
Now here comes the night
Our every word now is a talkin' blues
A hymn to the life we are all bound to lose
We'd die for more but we still refuse
To live without a fight
[Verse 6]
Your sailor is my lawyer
Your seamstress suits my king
Ah, but you are the mouth of the river
And the start of my every dream
[Verse 7]
We say, "Never forget"
And mean, "Never forgive"
No, never, as long as ever we live
[Verse 8]
It offends all our dead
To surrender this
To even think we might go on
[Verse 9]
And freedom doesn't need to be free when it sells
Like ocean waves offered from inside of shells
We bet the farm tryin' to ring its bells
But love still goes for a song
[Verse 10]
Your sailor is my lawyer
Your seamstress suits my king
Ah, but you are the mouth of the river
And the start of my every dream
