[slow acoustic guitar strumming and harmonica instrumental intro] [Verse] Silence rings Loudest of all... Along the hallways Of these empty walls... Home... Home it once stood... Now it's nothing... But nails... and... wood... mhmmmmmm... mhmmmmmm... [banjo instrumental] [Verse] Days long gone! Slowly they passed... Looking back now... They went too fast, So many lessons unlearned... So many bridges left burnt... But still the gold... Outweighs the broken glass... mhmmmmmm... mhmmmmmm... [harmonica instrumental] [chorus] time's like a river... it rushes on its way... carrying everything... I love away... yet here I'm stuck... with the memories... of you my Love! of my happy Days!! why can't the river... wash them all away? [acoustic guitar, banjo and harmonica instrumental] [Verse] Love no longer... here doth stay... no it left... died with you that day... I didn't see it... the signs, the pain... that made you feel... you had to escape... mhmmmmm... mhmmmmm... [harmonica instrumental] [Verse] Now I'll say goodbye... to everything... to the world... that brought me nothing... but pain... I will stand... take my leave... leave this note there in the dirt... with my dignity... I will walk... yes I will wade... into and let... the river have me... mhmmmmm... mhmmmmm... [banjo instrumental] [chorus] time's like a river... it rushes on its way... carried everything... I love away... now it too... has carried me... to you my Love! to my happy Days!! ohhh the river!!! Sent me on my way!!! mhmmmmm... ohhhhhh... mhmmmmm... ohhhhhhh The River! Brought me home today!!!!!! [acoustic guitar, banjo and harmonica instrumental solo leading to fade out]
