I've got words on my left arm 
And scars on my right 
To remind me of the time I waded 
Through a river deep and a river wide 

Sometimes I want to hear my 
Funeral song, but instead I stare down 
At my palms, and I 
Trace my lines across my time a river 
Deep and a river wide 

I carve a little bit deeper every night
With the dulling blade of a serrated knife 
Into the banks 'pon which I cried 
A river deep and a river wide 

I see boats passing in the night 
Lanterns just beyond my sight 
Like a moth to the flame I chase their shine 
Cross a river deep and a river wide 

I never agreed to the terms of life
But I guess that's back on the other side
So fate breaks my knees and says "my money please" 
As it smiles teeth from above me
So I spill my blood and I sign the line 
Of a river deep and river wide 

I see the reaper hold his scythe
I say, "listen friend, I'm on your side, you don't have to ask me twice
To cross that river deep and that river wide" 

It's about damn time I say goodbye 
Put silver coins on both my eyes
I wade on in and let it all float by 
On a river deep and a river wide
