I keep you in the corner of my mind
where I can find...
in the dark in the bleak in the real sad time
yeah I don't need you Lord when I'm doing fine
I'll go my own way
but I can't let you go even when I try
and I try
I only call you when I'm losing
I only need you when I'm high and dry
like a cigarette or the bottom...
thirsty at the river's end
thirsty at the river's end
forgive me for my sin
I like the way it feels to burn in my pain
and then I wonder why
your voice seems so far away
like a pawn in the way of a checkmate
I keep you at arm's length
I only call you when I'm losing
I only need you when I'm high and dry
like a cigarette or the bottom...
thirsty at the river's end
thirsty at the river's end
and I've tried to control it
I'm a slave to the flesh and you know it
but you saved the worst parts of me
and now I've gotta learn
what it means to be free
and I try to control it
I'm a slave to the flesh and you know it
but you saved the worst parts of me
and now I've gotta learn
what it means to be free
thirsty at the river's end
thirsty at the river's end
