Where This River Goes

If I had a boat,
I would leave these troubled waters.
Cast off these stones
that have held me to the bottom for so long
and for so long
I've held on.

I bow my head and close my eyes.
It's time to say goodbye.
I'll push off from the shore and
lay down these oars.
I don't need to know:
Where this river goes.

You and I will survive this time of sorrow.
We'll get by and for this we will be stronger
in the end and with this end: We begin.

I bow my head and close my eyes.
It's time to say goodbye.
I'll push off from the shore and
lay down these oars.
I don't need to know:
Where this river goes.

Bridge:
The world will keep turnin', life will go on.
Despite our broken hearts.
We can't go back to the way things were.
We can't deny the way things are.
We can't ever know:
Where this river goes.
