River Baby

Friends make the best enemies.

You took your baby straight down to the river and.....ha ha ha
You took your baby straight down to the river and.....ha ha ha

I'm a river baby and I just learned how to swim
I flap my arms, kick my legs, but I drown again
I try to chase my dreams but only as I sleep
If I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to keep

You took your baby straight down to the river and.....ha ha ha
You took your baby straight down to the river and.....held it in

We jumped into the river, arms together, you and me
Bobbing up and down as we floated out to sea
It didn't seem quite real, my mind assumed it was a dream
But my eyes were opened wide when you began to scream

You took your baby straight down to the river and.....held it in

I don't know when, I don't know why
But everybody's saying in my dreams I'm gonna die
Well, if I die in my dreams, it seems, I'll die with my friends
I don't know why, I don't know when
I'm ever ever gonna see my friends again
But if I do, I'll surely ask them for the answer, for the truth
Was it you? Was it you?

Was it you who built the mountains, was it you who dug the sea
Lifted up the earth, swept what was left underneath
Promises of nothing, never-ending it would seem
Told me while I was sleeping it would end in my dreams
Was it you who wove the carpet, stitched the fabric of my lige
Took me to the river, laughed into the sky
I don't know if I can believe you, I don't even wanna try
Lay me on the carpet, roll it up and let me die

You took your baby straight down to the river and.....held it in
