lyrics

I sat there by the river
And I wondered what was real
The sun was in the sky above
I had a deep old need to heal
And all the people passing by
Were harsh and faced with pain
Some walked in the sunshine
Some walked in the rain
Those dreams of mine were places
No one wants to go
I felt so numb and cold
With nothing left to show

Gonna pack up all my bags and stuff
Going to head on back to you
Gonna pack up all my sadness
Going to sing my lonesome blues
Gonna finally make it back
To where I lost my way
I gave away my highway shoes
I didn’t own them anyway
You wrote and said you’d take me in
I’d have some place to stay
Waiting on the morning
Waiting on the day

Here beside the river
There’s a song that we all hear
The song of all the gods that fell
When worship turned to fear
This feeling in my heart I know
I do not have the words
I only know the drugs to take
To keep it so absurd
This broken heart is not on you
No matter what I say
We all have better things to do
And better games to play

Gonna pack up all my bags and stuff
Gonna head back to home
We all seem so much older
We all seem so alone
Gonna finally make it back
To where it all went wrong
I lost my ragged pages
I gave away my only song
I know that I was broken
I need some place to stay
Waiting on the morning
Waiting on the day
