lyrics

I really believed you were gonna make it out.
I really believed you all along.
You pointed across to the great red star and said "It won't be very long."

But you ain't goin' nowhere.
All you've got is a song
Taken down by the mouth of the sea and set to drift alone.
Is that the river singin' along? Or is it you? Is it you?

All of you words in a pretty little row
stolen from the mouth of a man.
End of the day you've gotta lay one down
even though you'll never understand.

That you ain't goin' nowhere.
All you've got is a song
Taken down by the mouth of the sea and set to drift alone.
Is that the river singin' along? Or is it you? Is it you?

I really believed you were gonna make it out.
I really believed you all along.
You stagger across to the great red star as I listen to the ocean's roar.

But you ain't goin' nowhere.
All you've got is a song
Taken down by the mouth of the sea and set to drift alone.
Is that the river singin' along? Or is it you? Is it you?
