I've gone down the river of sadness
I've gone down the river of pain
The darkness underwater called my name
I gave you the key to the highway
and the key to the motel door
and I'm tired of leaving and leaving
I can't come back no more
All my darkeyed friends
I'll been calling you again
Some say speak nothing
Speak nothing till the end
Mother of earth
They called
Said stay behind the wall
Their sadness
Grows like weeds upon their thighs and knees
Mother of earth the wind is hollerin
I drive my best but I could?
And my eyes faithfully when this whole thing comes free
I've gone down the river of pain
The darkness underwater called my name
I gave you the key to the highway
and the key to the motel door
and I'm tired of leaving and leaving
I can't come back no more
All my darkeyed friends
I'll been calling you again
Some say speak nothing
Speak nothing till the end
Mother of earth
They called
Said stay behind the wall
Their sadness
Grows like weeds upon their thighs and knees
Mother of earth the wind is hollerin
I drive my best but I could?
And my eyes faithfully when this whole thing comes free
