Afraid to suffer the wound

All praise to that conscious one

Who always suffers the wound, child

Suffers the wound, child

 Hey

Suffers the wound

Never turns from love

Give it up

Afraid to lay naked in the sun

He's crazy, she dances in the light

The crowd jeers, they won't put up a fight

Hey...

 Until my heart is free to roam, she won't never leave me alone

 Saved by the river now

Saved

Buildin' shelter to house our lack of love

We're only here for a while

Tear it down and suffer the wound

Hey...

Until my heart... (Never turns from love, never turns to hate)

 Until my heart is free to roam, she won't never leave me

Never turns from love, never turns to hate

Always suffers the wound

 Never turns from love

 Never turns to hate (Saved by the river now) (2x)

 An invisible mississippi, ganges or a nile

 I can feel the quiet river rage, forcin' my lips into a smile

 Don't believe that the world is empty, just too noisy to hear the sound

 I can feel the quiet river rage, and I'm fallin' down, saved by the river now

(Repeat many times 'till fadeout with random "Saved by the river now" and "Never turns from love" lyrics)
