lyrics

There's a fire by the hillside
It's looking dark and mean
We're all watching from the outside
And there ain't nothing in between

We've become so good at talking
And telling others what is right
The dirty water that we're drawing
Will turn within the night

But I have told you I'm not coming 'round
When the waters up to my knees
Every season will come and pass and leave me standing here
But I won't find you near

I will lie by the highway
I'm racing back and forth
That is when I knew I can't stay
And took a trip up North

When they found me by the homestead
It was getting late
But I told them they had misread
The writing on the gates

But I have told you I'm not coming 'round
When the waters up to my knees
Every season will come and pass and leave me standing here
But I won't find you near

There's a river running downstream
It's passing through the town
What began as such a small dream
And then it filtered down

Who'd have thought that when it opened
The town would turn to spring?
I can hear the birds are calling
And angels start to sing

But I have told you I'm not coming 'round
When the waters up to my knees
Every season will come and pass and leave me standing here
But I won't find you near
