Lyrics
By The River
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.
These streets are deserted
Black asphalt and rain
Behind the drawn curtains the homes look the same
I've been here too long and I don`t belong
No one cares about the man whose head hangs down
No one hears the cries of the man about to drown
This town is soaked in silence
A quiet threat of violence
And here I am
By the river
I'm down by the river
I stand by the water with the light of the moon
A road made of silver
Am I leaving too soon?
I've been here too long and I don't belong
No one cares…
