Lyrics:
Were assembled in the factory
By the Queen and her buzzing drones
Vertical consumption
Brings us to our knees
Down by the rivers of Babylon
A river ot
to meet the shoreline
Somethin' about a river the way it runs to meet the sea
There's somethin' about a rainfall and it's like the gift of living
There's
of directions it might blow
But the river's dream is a dream of love
And a dream of sweet reflections from above.
Down by the banks of the river of change
Dreams drift away like leaves on the water
They roll down the river and slip out of sight
Too many times we do what we ought
Put off 'til tomorrow
around the town and the city
Tried to figure the how and the why
Stopped all my scheming
I'm just drifting and dreaming
Watching the river roll by
Here
a place by the river
[Chorus]
It was time when strangers were welcome here
Music would play
They tell me the days were sweet and clear
It was
by the river
In the neon light with your angry scar
Find a wishful start and a twisted mind
With a running start and a cold, cold heart
With
In a drunken town fight
In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who's born
On a hot muggy morn
By the dawn's early light
In the port
Soon you'll see a golden stream of light
A cold and friendless tide has found you
Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down
I'll paint a ray
nights
Slow dancing in the campfire light
I remember those Neches river nights
Sitting on my tailgate watching the moon rise through the trees
I remember

We gotta get to a higher place
And we gotta leave by night
Before that river takes us down
We gotta find somewhere that's dry
We gotta run like
The moon and the stars illuminate the sky
The world keeps on turning by and by

Before that river takes us down

We gotta run like
Intro:
(Soft instrumental with gentle acoustic guitar and a light breeze sound)
When the morning light begins to play,
And the world is soft in
on the bridge that crosses
the river that goes out to the sea.
The wind is full of a thousand voices;
they pass by the bridge and me.
Chorus
Chorus
I will wait by the river
In the light of the moon
At the edge of the city
I will wait for you
Though I can't wait forever
Someday I'll be dead
the depths of darkness, I search for light
To mend the pieces, to set things right
Outro (Am - G - F - E)
[Acoustic guitar strumming pattern fades out,
down
Common Sense is in your town
I said come on, y'all, get live, get down
Common Sense is in your town
I stagger in the gatherin'
Possessed by
it ends in you and me
Now as the dark gathers into the sky
And legions of might go thundering by
Regions of light grow dim and then die
And we with
a drunkin' down fight.
But in the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who's born
On a muggy, hot morn by the dawns early light.
In the port of Amsterdam
that's all right by me
I'm a tiger when I want love
But I'm a snake if we disagree
The rivers are full of crocodile nastiest
And He who made kittens
the light, swear with all my might, I'll be there
I'll fight hell to hold you, no river too deep or mountain high
I'll fight hell to hold you by my side
land (echo)
Is light years ahead of me (echo)
[CHORUS:] x2
Well, the eagle flies (echo)
And the rivers run (echo)
I look through the night
