As the sun shines on me
|
I am here to wait
|
For the days of worry
|
Don't worry me
|
|
Lesson One was hardest
|
Hardest one to take
|
But that's just the way I am
|
|
All the nights I laid there
|
On my back and prayed
|
That I would be a better man today
|
|
I was hurting for the things I'd said and done
|
Hurting for the someone
|
|
It's all down the river (way down the river)
|
Past is past and done is done
|
Listen to the teacher (listen to your preacher)
|
And do your best my son
|
|
Keener for the lessons I have learned
|
Wiser by a thousand years
|
Does the heart grow stronger
|
When its love is spurned
|
And is that why I'm still here
|
|
And the nights when I laid there
|
On my back and prayed
|
Never stopped the looping anyway
|
Happiness is hardest as you reach the end of the road
|
|
It's all down the river (way down the river)
|
Past is past and done is done
|
Listen to the teacher (listen to your preacher)
|
Then you'll know best my son
|
|
It's all down the river (way down the river)
|
Past is past and done is done
|
Listen to the teacher (listen to your preacher)
|
And do your best my son
|
