Lyrics:
On the river that runs through me There's a boat headed out to sea And the helmsman's losing steam More each day And the engineer just sleeps As the coal burns more violently Lord help me, I can't sweep the ash away A cursed river born of a mighty flood By the hand of the Almighty It still teems with the blood of a son That I drank into me And like a forest obscured by trees My rivers fill up with boats like these And all these vessels in my veins Float like leaves down vines of black rivers And love's a mystery Like God's a mystery My heart is valve and ventricle and flesh I know not what it means Just that it burns in me And tonight it's not worth venturing a guess
