| I can’t believe it’s true, I finally got you here
|
| I been waiting for this moment for some years
|
| I’ve been torn down enough to know
|
| Everyone goes through this door
|
| Just before their lives explode
|
| Come in here with a heavy load
|
| Walking down the road watching the day begin
|
| Radio song is playing off in a distant wind
|
| But you can feel it, it’s a gentle love
|
| Coming out soft from the windows above
|
| Just when you have had enough
|
| Here comes the world you’ve been dreaming of
|
| Oh my, my, the Mystic River
|
| She takes your heart and you will forgive her
|
| Lay me down beside the water
|
| I look across at the sons and daughters
|
| Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon
|
| Even the stars at night they fade away too soon
|
| You can’t do much about the trouble life brings
|
| Cut all the lines so the phones don’t ring
|
| But stay here once from spring to spring
|
| Watching the ice melt the mornings sing
|
| Oh my, my, the Mystic River
|
| She takes your heart and you will forgive her
|
| And lay me down beside the water
|
| I miss my sons, I miss my daughter now
|
| Oh, now
|
| Oh, oh
|
| There’s a tree that grows out in the burning sands
|
| Never a drop of rain that nobody understands
|
| But you can push me, I don’t mind
|
| Leave me out here and I’ll be fine
|
| Cause everyone’s gonna have their time
|
| Up or down, honey, you decide
|
| And oh my, my, the Mystic River
|
| She takes your heart and you will forgive her
|
| Lay me down beside the water
|
| I miss my sons I miss my daughter now
|
| Oh, now
|
| Woah, ooh
|
| Hmm
|
| Mmm |
