Lyrics
As I stand on the river bridge
Silent on this thirsty ridge
No more birds will sing for me on this desperate day
I've walked far to make it here
I know my path is plain and clear
I will take to rest a final time on that clay
Take me back to where I wanna be
When you're young, there's a melody
Winds that blow from over in the west
All the trees shake like they bow and pray
Like they all know us by name
Will they call to me once more before I go?
Lay down, lay low
They say it's quiet there
Lay down, lay low
I wanna finally fall down, fall down
Don't believe everything that you hear about angels drawing near
But I hold on to a ghost who knows my name
Mornings take me by surprise
These are dreaming open eyes
And we make miracles every moment of every day
Lay down, lay low
Lay down, they say it's quiet there
Lay down, lay low
Lay down, I wanna finally fall down, fall down
As I stand on the river bridge
I recall this barren ridge
West winds blow for me a melody today
And I've walked far to make it here
I know in time, I'll see it clear
Some things are gone for good, but instant in your mind
Ooh...
