Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where the river runs to black
I take the school books from your pack
Plastics and wire and your kiss
The breath of eternity on your lips
[Verse 2]
In the crowded marketplace
I drift from face to face
I hold my breath and close my eyes
I hold my breath and close my eyes
[Verse 3]
And I wait for paradise
And I wait for paradise
[Verse 4]
The Virginia hills have gone to brown
Another day, another sun goin' down
I visit you in another dream
I visit you in another dream
[Verse 5]
I reach and feel your hair
Your smell lingers in the air
I brush your cheeks with my fingertips
I taste the void upon your lips
[Verse 6]
And I wait for paradise
And I wait for paradise
[Verse 7]
I search for you on the other side
Where the river runs clean and white
Up to my heart, the waters rise
Up to my heart, the waters rise
[Verse 8]
I sink 'neath the water cool and clear
Drifting down, I disappear
I see you on the other side
I search for the peace in your eyes
[Verse 9]
But they're as empty as paradise
They're as empty as paradise
[Verse 10]
I break above the waves
I feel the sun upon my face
