A cold, black river runnin'
Who knows which way it's gone
I feel the half that is missin'
Until [the] river flows back to me
Come outside into the sun
I know in time your will be done
Mind like a black river runnin'
It's dark, dark in my motel room
Daylight comes under the door
And shines, shines on my dirty shoes
A prayer, silence, and nothing more
A cold, black river runnin'
Who knows which way it's gone
I feel the half that is missin'
Until [the] river flows back to me
