I went down to the muddy river
|
Where the blind fish do swim.
|
I saw the face on the drowning moon
|
And I nearly jumped in.
|
|
Sad sirens on the water
|
They call to me through the night.
|
They sing of you, their song is blue,
|
and so is the pain.
|
|
It 's been so long.
|
|
Oh Lord, won't you help me,
|
Now I'm in such distress,
|
My song is blue, and so are you,
|
That's why I'm in such a mess.
|
|
It 's been so long.
|
|
Out in the moonlight,
|
Beside Macadam highway,
|
You put out your thumb, Maggie Baby
|
You sure went a long way.
|
|
The neon angel passed you by,
|
He said old river seemed to sigh,
|
Separated, from you past,
|
We sometimes die.
|
|
It 's been so long.
