Take me back to the river's edge, I wandered out alone, Never thought I was coming home, Take me back to the river's edge, No one need ever know, In your father's eyes, I'm not enough, There's a fire that goes out when I'm alone,
Take me back to the river's edge, Any day now, I will be coming home, Nobody else need ever know.
Take me back to the river's edge, Down where the water was calm, Sun setting heavy, behind all the trees below, Thought I saw a sign in the sky, It was just your reflection above, Spend our whole lives, running from those we love, There's a fire that goes out when I'm alone,
Take me back to the river's edge, Any day now, I will be coming home, No one else need ever know that I went out alone.
