The River

Lay down so I don't feel so sick
Get lost and dream Los Angeles
Wake up when I found the river
Lay low and walk down lazy streets
With a peace sign cut from a magazine
Wake up when I found the river, and I'm listening
Wherever you are, when I'm on the road
We're driving back past country homes
I'm calling home for you, for you
This is the last time, so darling close your eyes
We don't say goodbye, so we'll just say goodnight
This is the last time, so jump into that fire
We don't say goodbye, we'll just say goodnight
Closed eyes, I can cancel out the green
Thoughts bounce around like trampolines
Wake up, we're next to the river, mmm
Sunsets, they race down boulevards
Streetlights lit up like dim cigars
Wake up, we're back in September, oh
Wherever you are, when I'm on the road
We're driving back down country roads
I'm calling home for you, for you
This is the last time, so darling close your eyes
We don't say goodbye, so we'll just say goodnight
This is the last time, so jump into that fire
We don't say goodbye, we just say goodnight
No, no
Wherever you are, when I'm on the road
We don't have to feel alone
I'm calling home for you, for you
Lay down so I don't feel so sick
Wake up to see you once again
This is the last time, so darling close your eyes
We don't say goodbye, so we'll just say goodnight
This is the last time, so jump into that fire, mmm
So jump into the fire
We don't say goodbye, we just say goodnight
