lyrics

A woman wandered down by the river,
searching for the meaning of her lost cause.
But overturning stones
uncovered nothing but the bones
of the girl she used to know.

A man wandered down by the river
searching for a place where he could sit and think.
But when he found a spot
where he could finally sit and stop
he sat upon that ancient rock.

Singing oh,
oh,
the water washed away
all the thoughts from yesterday
and I am finally forgot.

The man wandered up on the shore
and came across the beautiful girl
beating her heart upon a rock
and when he asked her 'What is wrong?'
'It never answers anymore' she said.

Oh, oh,
the water washed away
all the thoughts from yesterday
and I am finally forgot.

But you don't want me anymore
I've been nothing but trouble.
If you can't beat me, win the war,
you're in trouble.

Cause I've been lonely for a while
and I can't stand the sound
of this heart being all alone.
You're in trouble.

Oh down by the river, down by the river side
Oh down by the river, down by the river side
Oh down by the river, down by the river side

But you don't want me anymore
I've been nothing but trouble.
If you can't beat me, win the war,
you're in trouble.

Cause I've been lonely for a while
and I can't stand the sound
of this heart being all alone.
You're in trouble.

Oh, oh, oh, oh
