Flesh And Bone

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, you make it silent 
Slowly I feel it beginning to fade 


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 


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 your 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 
Let me bury this . . . disguise
