Where the river runs to black
I take the school books from your pack
Plastics wire and your keys
Breath of eternity on your lips
In the crowded marketplace
I drift from face to face
I hold my breath and close my eyes
I hold my breath and close my eyes
And I wait for paradise
I wait for paradise
Virginia hills are gone to black
Another day, another sun going down
I visit you in another dream
I visit you in another dream
I reach and feel your hair
Your smell lingers in the air
I brush your cheek with my fingertips
I taste the void upon your lips
And I wait for paradise
I wait for paradise
I search for you on the other side
Where the river runs clean and white
Up to my heart that waters rise
Up to my heart that waters rise
Seeming the water's cool and clear
Drifting down I disappear
I see you on the other side
I search for peace in your eyes
But there's the emptiest paradise
There's emptiest paradise
I wait above the place
I feel the sun upon my face
