Lyrics

What am I going to do
Ain't no cage that can hold you
Said it's going to be rough
Facing up to some justice
Oh, black river
Let me roll back to you
Under the water
The light looks so fine
And down in the shallows
The faithless all gathering
To steal from the surfer
What's yours and what's mine, yeah
What am I going to say
(And who's going to believe me)
When they drag you away?
(Skitching, screaming, and kicking)
Said it's going to be brutal
(And it's me who's left grieving)
Facing up to the truth
Oh, black river
Let me roll back to you
Under the water
The light looks so fine
And down in the shallows
The faithless all gathering
To steal from the surfer
The sacrament wine, yeah
Oh, black river
Let me roll back to you
Under the water
The light looks so fine
And out on the iron shore
The lighthouse is flickering
A song for the surfers
Some rum his last card, yeah
Oh, black river
Let me roll back to you
Under the water
The light looks so fine
And down in the fox hole
The torchlight still flickering
But back in the shanty
The water's run dry, yeah
What am I going to do
Ain't no cage that can hold you
What am I going to say
When they drag you away from here?
