Eternity

I was born on the banks of eternity

A page of the history it teaches

Not a care, lived my life like a hurricane

Leaving everything along the way in pieces

Some may have cheered, some may have wondered

If I am flesh, if I am stone

Thoughts of you tear through me like thunder

You are the light that has led me back home

Take me to the river, baby

Wash away the lies

I've got no reputation living in your eyes

Take me to eternity

Let me bury this disguise

A southern boy has it harder sometimes

It's like you were climbing a razor

You were there when my dreams had all turned to dust

And the man in the mirror was a stranger

Look at me now, a soulless survivor

No mask can hide the man that I've made

You ease my pain

Your make it silent

Slowly I feel it beginning to fade

I want to feel it

Rushing over me into the tide

I want to taste it

Every moment 'til the end of my life

I have laid still, adrift in you memory

Hoping your faith would erase all the years

Maybe some time, maybe some magic

Maybe your love will make everything clear

Take me to the river, baby

Wash away the lies

I've got no reputation living in your eyes

Take me to eternity

Let me bury this disguise

Take me to the river, baby

Wash away the lies

There are no expectations hiding in your eyes

Take me to eternity

And let me bury this disguise
