A cold, black river runnin’ Who knows which way it’s gone I feel the half that is missin’ Until [the] river flows back to me Come outside into the sun I know in time your will be done Mind like a black river runnin’ It’s dark, dark in my motel room Daylight comes under the door And shines, shines on my dirty shoes A prayer, silence, and nothing more Come outside into the sun I know in time your will be done Mind just keeps on runnin’ A cold, black river runnin’ Who knows which way it’s gone I feel the half that is missin’ Until [the] river flows back to me Until [the] river flows back to me Until [the] river flows back to me Come outside into the sun I know in time your will be done Mind like a black river runnin’ Like a black river runnin’ Like a black river runnin’ Like a black river runnin’ … Like a black river runnin’
