Mad River

Sitting alone, by the mad river
Regret came callin', so I invited him in
To speak of the choices, the people and places
And all of the sweet things that just might have been

When misery came, shufflin' through the trees...
Laid down beside me, wearing only a grin
Won't somebody tell me, why my mind's a volcano
Spilling out questions that I've learned to burn

Mad river magic
Let that mad river flow
Mad river magic
Won't you carry me home

Then joy came a-blowin', through the leaves by the river
On the wings of the white dove, while the black hawk stood by
Won't somebody tell me, why my mind's like a valley
So deep and so hollow where my memories won't grow

There's a tale that's been told, 'bout the mad rivers magic
If you sit at the source, it can carry you home
It breathes new life into living, washes pebbles and stones
While the sun beams on the water, where the gold shines alone

Mad river magic
Let that mad river flow
Mad river magic
Won't you carry me home

Mad river magic
Let that mad river flow
Mad river magic
Won't you carry me home
Mad river magic
Won't you carry me home
