River of No Return Lyrics

Where the fear and the four winds blow
That's where I'm headed now
One eye on the wheel, one for the road
And both ears to the ground
All the words come tumbling down
Down around my feet
Say a prayer little girl for your crumbling world
Before it brings you to your knees
It's too late to think about it
Too late to even try
We've come too far now
It's too late to change your mind

We're going down to the river of
Down to the river of
Down to the river of no return
Don't look now but I think we're there
Don't look down I can see that you're getting scared
There's danger in the air again
See the children play
Dancing barefoot in the rain
One foot in the grave

Who knows what's waiting for us
Who knows just what we'll find
Will you be waiting for me
At the end of the line
Chorus

We're going down, down, down...

There's always two ways open
I hope you live and learn
Sell me down the river
And watch the bridges burn

Chorus

We're going down to the river of no return
Where the four winds blow and the bridges burn....
