Crossing the River

I just wanna look good
When I cross that river
I can't take you with me
I hope you're a forgiver
I'll dye my hair brown
And I'll polish my nails
Pay my last dues
I'll cover the trails
I'm of no use here any more
I'm surrounded by fools
God, even the birds
Are singing the blues
I crowned you my king
When you turned four
I did what I could
But now I am done for

I guess I'm going to sleep
On the way to the other side
I'm gonna live the dream
And sleep through the ride
I'm crossing the river today
Deliver me
Stars to guide me
I'm crossing the river today
Deliver me
From the sadness inside of me

This strange invader's
Freezing my limbs
And is slowing
My heart down
I'll leave you all of my belongings
I guess I won't need them
On the other side
Until we're back
Together
It will help
To keep me in mind

I guess I'm going to sleep
On the way to the other side
I'm gonna live the dream
And sleep through the ride
I'm crossing the river today
Deliver me
Stars to guide me
I'm crossing the river today
Deliver me
From the sadness inside of me
From the sadness inside of me

I'm not afraid
And my mind is made up
I've been thinking of going
Now the time has come
I'll close the curtains
Have one last smoke
And I'll lock the doors
Before I go

I guess I'm going to sleep
On the way to the other side
I'm gonna live the dream
And sleep through the ride
I guess I'm going to sleep
On the way to the other side
