Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It don't ever rain here
The sun just always shines
Did I wander here one morning
Or was I left behind?
[Verse 2]
The mist comes every dawnin'
The heat comes every noon
The dew comes every evening
But honey, where are you?
Honey, where are you?
[Verse 3]
I'm a blind man on the river
Rowing with the tide
My skin's cold and my bones shiver
I need you by my side
I need you by my side
[Verse 4]
The current never falters
The river never bends
I sleep here at your altar
And wait for my compense
[Verse 5]
I'm younger, now I'm older
Than I was when I come here
Each day I wake up in the darkness
Ready my boat and repeat my prayer
My boat and repeat my prayer
[Verse 6]
I saw a shadow six days running
In the shape of a man
It's just the shifting branches of the willow
As the wind crosses the bottom land
[Verse 7]
Your eyes, they can play tricks on you
Out of the water, the moon appears
In the river's deep reflection
I see your face, my dear
I see your face, my dear
I'm a blind man on the river
Rowing with the tide
[Verse 8]
I tie my boat up in the evening
To the branches of a birch tree
I woke to a shining angel above me
Her wings rustlin' in the eaves
[Verse 9]
Her voice had fell inside me
Like the night upon my cheek
The distant plains of Jordan
Lie lit beneath the pale moon's peak
[Verse 10]
I listen for the whippoorwill singing
It's just silence all night through
Just the sound of my oars in the water
Honey, where are you?
[Outro]
I'm a blind man on the river
Rowing with the tide
