The River — текст песни (No Means No)

when i speak the words i repeat are lost within this roaring and when i call your eyes turn on me but what are they exploring ? hidden shapes that pass fast away upon the waters streaming and what i see i just cannot say there is no one to heed me i could say that i am sorry but what forgiveness lies before me ? in the river you who know me know all too well all my sins and failings but brother dear, how could i tell ? the course that i was sailing in the flood, before my eyes i see the face that i despise in the river it`s mine, it`s mine drifting far away i can see you`re not very strong as the current sweeps you by me and i can see your head going down as helpless your cries find me help me! save me! lend me a hand! pull me out! pull me out! save me! save me! give me your hand! pull me out! pull me out! i would save you, give my life but it`s already sacrificed to the river it`s gone, it`s gone drifting far away mothers tell your children the truth don`t hide the fate that`s waiting when you`re born you start to drown there is no help, no safety first a gift of love is given then the winds rise, the sails are riven in the river
