It's been thirty-one years
|
Since she's been in your arms
|
But don't worry about Mama
|
Mama's got a good heart
|
|
And I'm not looking for your love
|
I'm only sniffing out blood
|
Just a little taste of where I came from
|
|
And at the bottom of this river
|
Is where I put you down to lay
|
So I can live with it
|
And in my heart there are these waters
|
Where I put you down to lay
|
While I learn to live with it
|
Until I'm free
|
|
And it's been all my life
|
I've been wondering on the inside
|
What we could've had
|
If you'd had a part in my life
|
|
And there were children involved
|
And they were brothers to me
|
Even if we never got to meet
|
|
And at the bottom of this river
|
Is where I put you down to lay
|
So I can live with it
|
And in my heart there are these waters
|
Where I put you down to lay
|
While I learn to live with it
|
Until I'm
|
|
Free at last from this shadow that hangs
|
Surely you wonder sometimes
|
And I'm sure you all sympathize
|
Just what a man's to become, just like his daddy's done
|
I just want to love someone
|
Who has the same blood
|
|
And at the bottom of this river
|
Is where I put you down to lay
|
So I can live with it
|
And in my heart there are these waters
|
Where I put you down to lay
|
While I learn to live with it
|
Keepsake
|
Until I'm free
