Friends out on the river, while I work all my weekends
August then September, my heels drag 'cross the pavement
Oh come on, why don't you welcome the chirps and chimes of time
Questions beg for answers, so don't keep questions waitin'
Wanna see that river, but I know that them leaves
Are phantoms by November, hauntin' jaded trees
I can't see through the forest with a summer's eye
Questions beg for answers, so don't keep questions waitin'
I shake and I shiver, these rapids won't tame
Might be a drifter, I'm stuck all the same
Tears they gon' hurt ya, power the flow
So keep your eyes focused, don't let them tears go cause they'll fall
Like the rain keeps pouring
