soon there is no place to go but down
thinking of a beautiful boy
eyes reflecting in the moonlight
the river is so calm
staying with him throught the night
lurking still they haven't found a place
looking for it's face
all this time the river flowing slow
soon there is no place to go but down
it could tell a long time ago
something in his face let me know
many men escaped their mud
watch them give up, life still goes on
lurking still they haven't found a place
staring at it's grace
all this time the river flowing slow
soon there is no place to go but down
