Eternity

I was born on the banks of eternityA page of the history it teachesNot a care, lived my life like a hurricaneLeaving everything along the way in piecesSome may have cheered, some may have wonderedIf I am flesh, if I am stoneThoughts of you tear through me like thunderYou are the light that has led me back homeTake me to the river, babyWash away the liesI've got no reputation living in your eyesTake me to eternityLet me bury this disguiseA southern boy has it harder sometimesIt's like you were climbing a razorYou were there when my dreams had all turned to dustAnd the man in the mirror was a strangerLook at me now, a soulless survivorNo mask can hide the man that I've madeYou ease my painYour make it silentSlowly I feel it beginning to fadeI want to feel itRushing over me into the tideI want to taste itEvery moment 'til the end of my lifeI have laid still, adrift in you memoryHoping your faith would erase all the yearsMaybe some time, maybe some magicMaybe your love will make everything clearTake me to the river, babyWash away the liesI've got no reputation living in your eyesTake me to eternityLet me bury this disguiseTake me to the river, babyWash away the liesThere are no expectations hiding in your eyesTake me to eternityAnd let me bury this disguise
