River song

There’s a river down south, the way in and out of hell
When the moon is out, you can hear a soft singing
Sounding like a song, coming from the river itself
A boat is gliding, through the stars in the mirror, that’s swaying calm and still

Someone’s rowing the boat, hiding from daylight and men
When the moon rises, the vessel goes up again
When the moon comes down, the boat returns with the flow
All the way the boatman is singing the river song
A song as blue as the ocean
A song as deep as the mirror that is swaying calm and still

The song’s the boatman’s gift to the river
For being the flowing path between two worlds
For helping him in and out of hell
And it’s a song I know to well
A song of a lost love


For years now I’ve been fighting the blues
It’s always been there, sittin’ right next to me
It’s been hiding in shadows of doubt
So many times, that I lost count, yes I did

the uncontrollable force of nature
A state of mind in sound and color
It’s a dog with golden feathers
It’s an ape with silver scales
Tusks grow where arms should be
He’s not from this world or where I long to be


There’s a river down south, the way in and out of hell
When the moon is out, you can hear a soft singing
Sounding like a song coming from the river itself
A boat is gliding, through the stars in the mirror that’s swaying calm and still
