I was born on the banks of eternity A page of the history it teaches Not a care, lived my life like a hurricane Leaving everything along the way in pieces some may have cheered, some may have wondered if I am flash, if I am stone thoughts of you tear through me like thunder you are the light that has led me back home Take me to the river, baby Wash away the lies I've got no reputation living in your eyes Take me to eternity Let me bury this disguise A southern boy has it harder somrtimes It's like you were climbing a razor You were there when my dreams had all turned to dust And the man in the mirror was a stranger Look at me now, a soulless survivor no mask can hide the man that I've made you ease my pain. You make it silent slowly I feel it beginning to fade Take me to the river, baby Wash away the lies I've got to reputation living in your eyes Take me to eternity Let me bury this disguise I want to feel it Rushing over me into the tide I want to taste it Every moment 'til the end of my life I have laid still, adrift in your memory hoping your faith would erase all the years maybe some time, maybe some magic maybe your love will make evetything clear Take me to the river, baby Wash away the lies I've got no reputation living in your eyes Take me to eternity Let me bury this disguise Take me to the river, baby Wash away the lies There are no expectations hiding in your eyes
