footpaths down by the river side
sat on the bank where I broke down and cried
flooded with memories of a life that I tried
under the water, is where I will hide
throw yourself in the river boy
you burned down your bridges
cast your best hand down
lilies grow down by the riverside
I asked them for answers only water replied
current carry me, from the folks that have lied
take hold my body, out to sea with the tide
throw yourself in the river boy
you burned down your bridges
cast your best hand down
Footsteps down by the river side
I walk from the bank, all their hate is defied
for love and revenge, a new resolve as my guide
my life and my death
aint for them to decide
They'll throw themselves in the river boy
you'll burn down their bridges
cast their best hand down
