lyrics

you will lose me on the river
lose me on the river
you can find me on the water
floating just beyond ya
I will follow it for miles
til I am out of sight
I am cold and I am tired
and I don’t wanna fight
now I have to remember you
with everything I do
and my memory is blue
where the river’s running through

I don’t mean to make it hard
I’m going back, oh, to the start
I don’t mean to make you cry
but I am going back in time
to
undo what has been done
untie all of the knots
revoke what has been won
and erase all of my thoughts
and I know I can’t believe you
and I’ve done what I can do
and I’m lost now down the river
I got nothin left to lose

now I dream about you all night
dream about you all night
and I see you in a new light
and it keeps me up all night
now the current sweeps me off my feet!
takes me, oh down the stream
and I feel you hanging over me!
I guess that’s fitting

I don’t mean to make it hard
I’m going back, oh, to the start
I don’t mean to make you cry
but I am going back in time
to
undo what has been done
untie all of the knots
revoke what has been won
and erase all of my thoughts
and I know I can’t believe you
and I’ve done what I can do
and I’m lost now down the river
I got nothin left to lose
