lyrics

There's only so much praying for rain
That one honest man can do
Before it ain't no use
And every whistle from each passing train
Reminds me how much time I have to lose
And how I'm only passing through
Passing through
Only passing through
Like a thief in the night
And there's a river on the right
Called the no-return
I can follow every bend
Follow every turn
Until I'm standing at an altar
Between the darkness and the light
And with so much left to chance
It's hard to choose
Which one leads to you

You know some people got no choice
They're either coming or they're going
Like a hard wind blowing
But you know I hear a different voice
Loud as thunder rolling
Strong as a river flowing
It looks like rain
It looks like rain
I feel it in my bones
And the rivers gonna rise
When it finally comes falling down
Until its swollen like a vein
That carries more than blood alone
And I've got to let it bleed
Or else I'll drown
High water all around

Last night I had a dream
I was swept out to sea
I let the current carry me
Away on a slipstream
And I looked up at the stars to see
You dancing on a moonbeam
So wild and free
Like a fish swimming upstream
I don't know what it was
All supposed to mean
And you were laughing so hard
You were crying
And me I was dying
Looking in your eyes
Yes I was dying
Looking in your eyes
