River's End

I keep you in the corner of my mind

Where I can find you

In the dark, in the bleak, in the real sad times

Yea, I don't need you lord-

When I'm doing fine

I'll go my own way

But I can't let you go, even when I try

And I try

I only call you when I'm losing

I only need you when I'm high and dry

Like a cigarette or the bottle, my friend

Thirsty at the river's end

Forgive me for my sins

I like the way it feels to burn in my pain

And then I wonder why your voice seems so far away

Like a pawn in the way of a check-mate

I keep you at arms length-

I only call you when I'm losin

I only need you when I'm high and dry

Like a cigarette or the bottle, my friend

Thirsty at the river's end

And I've tried to control it

I'm a slave to the flesh

And you know it

But you saved the worst parts of me

And now I've gotta learn what it means to be free

Thirsty at the river's end
