I'm going down the river of sadness
I go down the river of pain
In the dark under the wires I hear them call my name
I hear them call my name

I go down the river of sadness
I go down the river of pain
In the dark under the wires I hear them call my name
I hear them call my name

I gave you the key to the highway
And the key to a motel door
Yeah I'm tired of leaving and leave it
I can't come back no more

Oh my dark eyed-friend
I'm recalling you agian
Soft voices the speak nothing, speak nothing 'til the end

Mother of earth the blinded call
Let's just stay behind the wall
Yeah their sadness grows like weeds
Upon my thighs and knees

Oh mother of earth the wind is hard
I tried my best but I could not
And my eyes fade for me in this open country
(I gave you the key to the highway
And the key to a motel door
Yeah I'm tired of leaving and leave it
So I won't come back no more
Oh my dark eyed friend
I will call you agian
Soft voices the speak nothing, speak nothing 'til the end
Mother of earth the blinded call
Lets just stay behind the wall
Thir sadness grows like weeds like butterflies and bees...)
