Down by the river

This is the path you have chosen
never thought it would be so hard
Skating on a heart that's frozen
never knew it had got so scarred

This is the road you're walking
sometimes all you can do is pray
It feels like death is stalking
and safety's miles and miles away

Remember all the fun and laughter
the love, the hopes, the dreams
Your belief in 'happy ever after'
turned into nightmare screams

You need to go down by the river
let the clear water wash you clean
Time's always been the great forgiver
your refuge when he gets too mean
