Once my life was plain and clear

I recall once my ignorance was bliss

Nightfall came like a serpent's kiss

To my troubled mind.

Why, oh why, my god

Have you abandoned me

In my sobriety

Behind the old facade

I'm your bewildered child

So take me across the river wide.

Binding promises were made on my soul

Grand illusions led astray

Ice cold winds swept my heart away

Bring me back to you.

Why, oh why, my god above

Have you abandoned me

In my sobriety

Behind the old facade

I'm your bewildered child

So take me across the river wide.
