Take me back to the river's edge,
I wandered out alone,
Never thought I [bad word] home,
Take me back to the river's edge,
No one need ever know,
In your father's eyes, I'm not enough,
There's a fire that goes out when I'm alone,

Take me back to the river's edge,
Any day now, I will [bad word] home,
Nobody else need ever know.

Take me back to the river's edge,
Down where the water was calm,
Sun setting heavy, behind all the trees below,
Thought I saw a sign in the sky,
It was just your reflection above,
Spend our whole [bad word] from those we love,
There's a fire that goes out when I'm alone,

Take me back to the river's edge,
Any day now, I will [bad word] home,
No one else need ever know that I went out alone.
