Yet I have often paid the price
 And you  you are a victim of this age
 And the guilt that hangs around your neck
 Has got me locked up in a cage
 You've got to learn  to live until no end
 But first you must learn to swim
 All over again (oh no)
 Because...
 Pain lies on the riverside
 And pain will never say goodbye (oh no)
 Pain lies on the riverside
 So put your feet in the water
 Put your head in the water
 Put your soul in the water
 And join me for a swim tonight
 I have forever, always tried
 To stay clean and constantly baptized
 I am aware now that the river's banks are dry
 And to wait for a flood
 Is to wait for life
 I've got to learn to live until no end
 But first I must learn to swim
 All over again (yeah yeah yeah)
 Because...
 Pain lies on the riverside
 And pain will never say goodbye (oh no)
 Pain lies on the riverside
 So put your feet in the water
 Put your head in the water
 Come on, put your soul in the water
 Join me for a swim tonight
 For a swim tonight (oh my love)
 I've got to learn to live until no end
 But I've got to learn to swim
 All over, all over
 All over again (yeah yeah yeah)
 Because...
 Pain lies on the riverside (ohoho nanah nanah)
 Pain will never say goodbye (oh no)
 Pain lies on the riverside
 So put your feet in the water
 Put your head in the water now
 Come on, put your soul in the water
 Join me for a swim tonight (yeah)
 For a swim tonight
 Got to swim
 All over, all over, all over
 All over again
 Got to live
 All over, all over, all over
 All over again
