Pain Lies On The Riverside

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I have never taken life

Yet I have often paid the price

And you, you are a victim of this age

And the guilt that hangs around your neck

Has got me locked up in a cage

You've got to learn to live until no end

But first you must learn to swim

All over again, oh no

Because

Pain lies on the riverside

And pain will never say goodbye

Pain lies on the riverside

So put your feet in the water

Put your head in the water

Put your soul in the water

And join me for a swim tonight

I have forever, always tried

To stay clean and constantly baptized

I am aware that the river's banks, they are dry

And to wait for a flood

Is to waits for life

I've got to learn to live until no end

But first I must learn to swim all

Over again

Because

Pain lies on the riverside

And pain will never say goodbye

Pain lies on the riverside

So put your feet in the water

Put your head in the water

Put your soul in the water

And join me for a swim tonight

For a swim tonight

Oh my love

I've got to learn to live until no end

I've got to learn to swim all

Over, all over, all over again

Because

Pain lies on the riverside

And pain will never say goodbye

Pain lies on the riverside

So put your feet in the water

Put your head in the water

Put your soul in the water

And join me for a swim tonight

For a swim tonight

Got a swim all over, all over, all over, all over again

Got to live all over, all over, all over, all over again
