The River Is Long

I walked home empty with a sultry dream
I tossed a coin onto the icy pond
I tripped and fell upon the icy curve
The road is short but the river's long

I drew my eye onto a woman's smile
Told her man that I was running her down

We told his friend that I was speaking out,
So they put me into the ground

On and on they will go
Destroying me cruelly
Taking off all my my clothes
Way back in the day
Turn me on upside down
Screaming in laughter
I was screaming in pain
I didn't want to be there

They found me covered in it head to toe,
wild and rived like some bound up ghost
And any day I will lose the fight,
But it would hurt my family the most

She was heavy and her voice were grim
A shaven head-case with a smile turned foul
Who didn't know that they were bad and wrong
The road is short but the river's long
On and on they will go
Destroying me cruelly
Taken off all my my clothes,
way back in the day
Turn me on upside down,
Screaming in anger
I was screaming in pain
I didn't want to be there

There turns themselves like some western film
there's another highway that they cant walk down,
a sailing over on a misty gorge
The road is short but the rivers long
