Jay Silence - The River
The lights went out
On my side of town
Left me in the pourin' rain
After all we'd been through
The lies and truths
I was standin' there with no one to blame
Walked out on my tab
Hailed a cab
I guessed I'd hit the road and run
I was drunk and confused
From the drugs and abuse
Starin' down the barrel of a gun
We'd both had enough
Turned our backs on our love
No drinks left in the bottle of Gin
The more that we talked
The farther we walked
From the places we had ever been
We fought and we tried
Through tears that we cried
But nothin' ever seemed the same
Sometimes it's better to choose
A plan that you lose
And you live to fight another day
Hold on for the river
Don't let the turn take you away
Bettin' all that I had
On good love and bad
My hand was dealt with nothin' to play
Hold on for the river
Don't let the turn sweep you away
You sink or you swim
That's the game that we're in
And you're given all the chances to stay
I'd sit and I'd think
Bury thoughts with a drink
Chasin' 'way the sting and the pain
Random one-night stands
Playin' songs in the band
Keepin' all my feelin's at bay
Our love disappeared
Along with the years
The night was now my only friend
I knew that I crossed
A heart that I lost
And I'd never get to feel her again
Hold on for the river
Don't let the turn take you away
Bettin' all that I had
On good love and bad
My hand was dealt with nothin' to play
Hold on for the river
Don't let the turn sweep you away
You sink or you swim
That's the game that we're in
And you're given all the chances to stay
Just when you think
You've given all you've got to give
Hold on to your dream
You got a lot of life to live
Hold on for the river
Don't let the turn take you away
Bettin' all that I had
On good love and bad
My hand was dealt with nothin' to play
Hold on for the river
Don't let the turn sweep you away
You sink or you swim
That's the game that we're in
And you're given all the chances to stay
