Deep in the pocket of your coat There's a letter there that I wrote We both know that this cannot work Not when the river's calling, oh, the river's calling Don't have a fancy job or fame But I hear the river knows my name And that is all I could ask To be held in the valley's grasp, oh Wait up Is there one last chance to dance in the river? Dance in the river I'm stuck And the city's got its grip on me, and I have had enough You're my home, my prayer, but when I wake, you're not there And I hope you wait up Held me tender as a child Your water was my food and kind I grew up and left for the lights But it seems that I've lost my mind Oh, it seems that I've lost my mind Wait up Is there one last chance to dance in the river? Dance in the river I'm stuck And the city's got its grip on me And I've had, I've had enough You're my home, my prayer, but when I wake, you're not there I hope you wait up I'll rejoice in my own free will And the tide, the way your waters run still And your love is the sun I see And the valley's where you'll wait for me, oh Wait up Is there one last chance to dance in the river? Dance in the river I'm stuck And the city's got its hooves in me And I've had, had enough
