The River

There is a road
And there is a faint light
There is a road
And there is a faint light
Leadin' you home
Leadin' you home
One of these days
I’ll trade all my words for stone
For mother, be honest
My words could not save a soul
Oh, and one of these days
I will trade all my glitter for gold
And take all of my wishes for riches
With me when I get old
For there is a faint light
And the river will take my soul
After a long time
I’ll let the river take me
One of these I’ll repair all the things I have broke
Oh, and we’ll go back to where it’s calm before the storm
And one of these days you’ll bury me in this hole
That I’ve been diggin' for years like a fool just lookin' for gold
And I’ll try to find my mind like a diamond in the snow
Oh, there is a road
And there is a faint light
There is a road
And there is a faint light
Leadin' you home
There is a road
And there is a faint light
Yeah, there is a road
And there is a faint light
And it’s leadin' you home
Leadin' you home
