Brian Hartt - River Lyrics

Got a coin in my mouth
My time is running out
So i wade in the water, all the same
Never reconciled my sins,
Never been a good man worth a damn
Let's just call a spade a spade
But how did i end up at this river once again?
Set my burning raft to sea
I wonder if the squall will follow me?
And my mistakes are a rudder steering slow
Well I pray they chant my name
To the sweet shores beyond the grave
I hope you hear it echo, so you know
Just how I end up at the river once again
Loop my brand new tie up tight
And i lay down for the night
And on good days I forget that I'm asleep
But it's a brand new life I made
And I sing it's praises every day
But I won't forget my trip into the deep
But I, wonder why, can't say goodbye, to banks of this river once again
