Riverbed

from Zephyr (LP) by Gold Light

/

lyrics

Walk with me down to the riverbed
Watch the preacher as he dunks in your daddy's head
It's an attempt to wash away all his sins
But you and I know there ain't no getting rid of them

So he comes home says he's a brand new man
That from here on out gonna be some changes
But he always ends up in some sore trance
And you and I are the ones that know the rest

Well there's questions on your mind can only be answered in time
And your daddy ain't the preaching or the talking kind
And your search for salvation will leave you nothing to find
But you know all this so much better than I

Every night I lay you down tuck you into bed
Say a prayer o'er you then I kiss your head
And there's things that I done that I do regret
But you and I know some words best left unsaid

Well I know I had it bad but you have it much worse
Cus his blood runs through your veins and it's taking it's course
But when you get older I hope you know for what it's worth
You can always go down to the riverbed for a second birth
