Man at the river`s edge
Thinks of things he should have said
But that was a long time ago
The truth cuts too deep now he`s losing his sleep
Over love he should never let go
I picked up the book again
Sat on the floor and then read about body and soul
If truth`s found in there what am I doing here
With my life spinning out of control
Isn`t it funny how we can`t see it (It`s so funny)
We`re looking right at it but we ain`t got it (We can`t see it)
We used to know it but we just forgot it oh no (Used to know it)
Mom`s working late again
To close the deal she began
The kids are at home all alone
Daddy`s not there he`s been gone for two years
But he gives them his love from the phone
Kid in a candy store
Fills his pocket with one more
Then he heads straight for the door
He leaves with a grin `cause he knows it`s no sin
When he thinks that nobody else knows
Isn`t it funny when we lose through the years
The best we can do is learn to laugh through the tears
I sit at the river`s edge
And think of things I should have said
But that was a long time ago
The truth cuts too deep now I`m losing my sleep
Over love I should never let go
