Same River Every Time

You knew what you wanted and you knew it wasn't a crime
You wanted straight to the heart of the beautiful dark sublime
I wandered up to your door about half blind
One night with you and I took off crying
You were the same river then, you're the same river every time

It wasn't a scream, but it was way more than a whine
Got to find that spot, got to polish it till it shines
We could quit half way but you ain't that kind
When we get to the top, it's worth the climb
It's the same river then, it's the same river every time

If we could work together we'd have something mighty fine
I'm gonna give it my all but you gotta give me some kind of sign
We can sing your song instead of mine
Turn the whole damned river into wine
It's the same river then, it's the same river every time

So you know what I want and you know it ain't a crime
Ah take me straight to the heart of the beautiful dark sublime
I stumbled into this place just about half blind
One night with you and I'll leave here flying
You're the same river now, you're the same river every time
Same river then, same river now
Same river then, same river every time
