Lyrics

curse the river of time
Oh how it winds
Only one direction that it knows
Farther from the source
Never changing course
Carrying me further as it flows
Standing at the station
With this old suitcase of mine
One last destination
I curse the river of time
I turn around and see a map
Of all I left behind
A pattern I was not aware I made
And all along while I was busy
Looking for a sign
Some things I held so dear began to fade
I curse the river of time
Oh how it winds
Carrying me farther down the line
Standing at the station
With this old suitcase of mine
One last destination
I curse the river of time
The morning birds cry my true song
Of everything I lost
As deep into the dark of night
I watched my youth be tossed
I still mourn each chapter gone
The politics of chance
Please hold for me my place in line
And save me one slow dance
curse the river of time
Oh how it winds
Only one direction that it knows
Farther from the source
Never changing course
Carrying me further as it flows
Carrying me with it as it goes
Carrying me closer to my home
