The River

I drove down to the river side Quite a lonely ride And a useless fight I found myself in a grove of trees Follow me for a lucid dream 'Chase it down, I say: chase it down' Said the heart to me 'Before it's gone you see' Before you were Before you were I drove on and on and so on Till you dragged me through Into the sun 'Come on up,' she'd say: 'Come on down Don't you dwell on me, before it's gone you see' Before you were Before you were If they could only see The world as black as me If they could only be As close as you're to me If they have only been As sweet as you're with me If they could only see, See you're beautiful to me I drove down to the river side Quite a lonely ride And a useless fight It's a useless fight A useless fight It's a useless fight It's so useless
