Trip To the River - Long Knife

They are master and slave We are sunlight and shadow All roads to the river I am lost, I am saved I'm beloved and betrayed All roads to the river And the river runs wide And the river runs deep (runs deep) And I spit in the eye Of safe company When I dive right down (dive right down) To the undertow (undertow) Well, the deeper I drown Lord, the higher I will go I am whisperin' dreams I am howling revolutions All roads to the river I am valentine sweet And I live in this nightmare All roads to the river And the river runs wide And the river runs deep (runs deep) And I spit in the eye Of safe company When I dive right down (dive right down) To the undertow (To the undertow) Well, the deeper I drown Lord, the higher I will go Nothin' like we planned That's the way it's always been All roads to the river I have hated and I have loved I have prayed and I have sinned All roads to the river And the river runs wide And the river runs deep (And the river runs deep) And I spit in the eye Of safe company When I dive right down (dive down) To the undertow (undertow) Well, the deeper I drown Lord, the higher I will go

You touched my life With your softness in the night My wish was your command Until you ran out of love I tell myself I'm free Got the chance of livin' just for me No need to hurry home Now that you're gone Knife Cuts like a knife How will I ever heal? I'm so deeply wounded Knife Cuts like a knife You cut away the heart of my life When I pretend Wear a smile to fool my dearest friends I wonder if they know It's just a show I'm on a stage Day and night I go through my charades But how can I disguise What's in my eyes? Knife Cuts like a knife How will I ever heal? I'm so deeply wounded Knife Cuts like a knife You cut away the heart of my life Oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh... I've tried and tried Blocking out the pain i feel inside The pain of wanting you Wanting you Knife Cuts like a knife How will I ever heal? I'm so deeply wounded Knife Cuts like a knife How will I ever heal? I'm so deeply wounded You cut away the heart Of my life
