Take me back to the river's edge
I wandered out alone
Never thought that I was coming home
Take me back to the river's edge
No one need ever know
In your father's eyes, I'm not enough
There's a fire that goes out when I'm alone

Take me back to the river's edge
Any day now, I will be coming home
Nobody else need ever know

Take me back to the river's edge
Down where the water was calm
Sun setting heavy, behind all the trees below
Thought I saw a sign in the sky
There is only your reflection above

Spend our whole lives, running from those we love
There's a fire that goes out when I'm alone

Take me back to the river's edge
Any day now, I will be coming home
Nobody else need ever know
I went out alone
