I was standing by the river watching water flow Yeah, I was standing by the river watching water flow Felt the cold wind blow, standing there below I was walking by the river watching down below Yeah, I was walking by the river, feeling oh so low In my veins blood was flowing, oh so slow You know vein is like the river, only blood here flows Yeah, the river never stops and the blood never slows And when blood flows like a river, pain grows When the pain flows like a river, life slows Yeah, the pain flows like a river and my life slows And when the pain grows, my river overflows Oh, when I've got by the river, I've got full of pain Yeah, when I reached the river, I was drowning in pain Pain in my vein, falling like the rain When the river's overflowing you can't hold the rain When you got pain overflowing you kill the pain Yeah, you must drain the vein to remain I was standing by the river watching water flow Yeah, I was standing by the river feeling pain gone I was standing by the river in the dawn
