The dying light was nearly dead 

by the time we reached the water's edge. 

We saw the river beating on the river bank 

Oh the way that it (something) the riverbed. 



It's cold 

It's dark 

It's not for people with uneasy hearts, 

But if you're with me on the other side 

Strike up the band; we have survived. 



Oh do they beat that drum to get you back home, 

Or do they beat it to keep you away? 



Don't be surprised at your regrets. 

Don't be surprised that the water made you wet. 

There's a shallow down river 

Where the water will forgive you, 

So spend your lukewarm bets 



Follow me, oh follow me; 

Allow me to play the voyager. 

I'll try to keep as dry 

As the hollowed out tree that 

You would be wrapped in another man's fur 



So Take a Dive 

Oh Take a Dive 

Oh take it out on the stepping stones that make the water rise 

So Take a Dive 

Oh Take a Dive 



Ohohohohoh 



Take that hair out of your damned eyes 

While the waves are away 

Now the sun will fade. 



Do they beat that drum to get you back home, 

Or do they beat it to keep you away? 



Will you burn your bridges down 

Singing lalalalalalala 



Will you burn your bridges down 

Singing lalalalalalala 



Will you bang your drum to the blazing sound 

Singing lalalalalalala 



Will you bang your drum to the blazing sound 

Singing lalalalalalala 



Will you turn away? 



How can you turn away?
