Mystic River - Blue Rodeo

I can’t believe it’s true, I finally got you here

I been waiting for this moment for some years

I’ve been torn down enough to know

Everyone goes through this door

Just before their lives explode

Come in here with a heavy load

Walking down the road watching the day begin

Radio song is playing off in a distant wind

But you can feel it, it’s a gentle love

Coming out soft from the windows above

Just when you have had enough

Here comes the world you’ve been dreaming of

Oh my, my, the Mystic River

She takes your heart and you will forgive her

Lay me down beside the water

I look across at the sons and daughters

Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon

Even the stars at night they fade away too soon

You can’t do much about the trouble life brings

Cut all the lines so the phones don’t ring

But stay here once from spring to spring

Watching the ice melt the mornings sing

Oh my, my, the Mystic River

She takes your heart and you will forgive her

And lay me down beside the water

I miss my sons, I miss my daughter now

Oh, now

Oh, oh

There’s a tree that grows out in the burning sands

Never a drop of rain that nobody understands

But you can push me, I don’t mind

Leave me out here and I’ll be fine

Cause everyone’s gonna have their time

Up or down, honey, you decide

And oh my, my, the Mystic River

She takes your heart and you will forgive her

Lay me down beside the water

I miss my sons I miss my daughter now

Oh, now

Woah, ooh

Hmm

Mmm
