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)
