Dear river
Won't you take me out of here
Tell your friend the sea
That I'll be waiting at the pier
And throw me down
To those rolling waves
They're gonna take me
The rest of the way
Show me bright city lights
And streets I've never seen
Make a home for me
On the path in between
Then move me on
Like an autumn bird
For I wanna fly
All around the world
Pull me in
So we're close enough to kiss
Read the starsy to me
For the sky
It is a myth
Then hand me over
To that restless wind
We're gonna ride
To a land we've never been
But in every floodlit archway
And in every fading town
Goes the memory of a self I've left behind
So please take me from these bright lights
I've loved them more than they have me
Take me back to where the river bends
That's where I long to be
Dear river
Won't you take me out of here
Tell your friend the sea
That I'll be waiting at the pier
And throw me down
To those rolling waves
They're gonna take me
The rest of the way
