I see double up ahead
|
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
|
Is where the river runs red
|
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove
|
And frees an eagle instead
|
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
|
|
I see trouble up the road
|
Like the things you found in love are by the way
|
And like to cheat on your soul
|
Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control
|
Before you lie on your bed
|
|
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
|
Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
|
Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red
|
Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green
|
And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
|
|
It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble
|
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars
|
And his double
|
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
|
I see trouble up ahead
|
Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun
|
Is where the river runs red
|
I see double - that's my trouble.
