I used to think sorrow was my middle name
‘N like a scar, it wouldn’t go away
It haunted me – a constant reminder
Of a life that could be gentler ‘n kinder
But would never come my way

Baby, when my heart starts to feel like this
Like it’s been stranded in some distant land
‘N my soul is as dry as a dry desert wind
‘N all my dreams are driftin’ like sand

So, you tell me you’ve been down that road before
‘N you’ll never go there again
You tell me that you don’t wanna hurt anymore
‘N you’re never gonna care again

I spent my summers down by the river I thought they would never end I realized nothin’ lasts forever Life changes as fast as the water ‘round that river bend
Now, I look back with no regrets ‘Cos I’ve grown ‘n learned from it all But still, when I feel troubled ‘N I don’t know what to do I go down to that riverside ‘Cos I swear, that river speaks to you
