Lyrics

Riverside
Broken heart and a wounded pride,
Take my troubles to the riverside.
Throw them all in and then watch the ride
Around the bend, deep and wide.
Dawn till dusk and dusk till dawn,
One moment here and the next one gone,
Just like time, it keeps flowing on,
On and on, on and on.

Chorus
Down by the riverside,
That?s where I?ll be.
Just got to watch those waters roll.
Some come to fish the banks,
Some come to sit and cry,
Some come to watch the moments fly,
Like me.

Truth hurts in the light of day.
Lick your wounds then back into the fray.
Nothin? ever stays the same in this play.
River, wash this pain away.
Night to day and then day to night,
Same scene changing in the different light,
Things now gray were once black and white.
Time and space in some cosmic rite.
Chorus

So you cross the bridge to another shore,
When the bridge burns down
You can?t go back any more.
So you search in vain for a way back around,
But the home you know just can?t be found.
Then you realize your standing on the solid ground.

Drink deep from the wishing well,
Cleanse your soul in the churning swell,
Float free on the magic spell.
Real or dream? Hard to tell.
Time flows in an endless stream,
Fish jump in a deep blue dream,
Waves fold on a silent seam,
Sun light ray, moon light beam.

Chorus
Down by the riverside,
That?s where I?ll be.
Just got to watch those waters roll.
Some come to fish the banks,
Some come to sit and cry,
Some come to watch the moments fly,
Some come to ask the question, ?Why??,
Some come to watch the embers of an old life die,
Like me.

Down by the riverside.
