Misery Is a River
Misery is a river, runs muddy and deep
It takes away your manners, takes away your sleep
And it will run through you, water will flood your life for years
Misery is a river, it's a river of tears
Met a woman at the landin', up the river, a few years
It was a time of darkness, my load started disappearin'
She offered me liberty and a safe journey over land
Why I could not leave those dark waters, it's still hard to understand
Well, misery is a river, runs muddy and deep
It takes away your manners, takes away your sleep
And it will run through you, water will flood your life for years
Well, misery is a river, a river of tears
You know wisdom can come with a mileage, not just years
These days, I don't expect too much, and for myself I have no fear
I left my old life behind when I dived in to be found
When the Lord gave me the strength to swim for the banks of misery
Well, misery is a river, runs muddy and deep
It takes away your manners, takes away your sleep
And it will run through you, water will flood your life for years
Well, misery is a river, it's a river of tears
Well, misery is a river, it's a river of tears
It takes away your manners, takes away your sleep
And it will run through you, water will flood your life for years
Misery is a river, it's a river of tears
Met a woman at the landin', up the river, a few years
It was a time of darkness, my load started disappearin'
She offered me liberty and a safe journey over land
Why I could not leave those dark waters, it's still hard to understand
Well, misery is a river, runs muddy and deep
It takes away your manners, takes away your sleep
And it will run through you, water will flood your life for years
Well, misery is a river, a river of tears
You know wisdom can come with a mileage, not just years
These days, I don't expect too much, and for myself I have no fear
I left my old life behind when I dived in to be found
When the Lord gave me the strength to swim for the banks of misery
Well, misery is a river, runs muddy and deep
It takes away your manners, takes away your sleep
And it will run through you, water will flood your life for years
Well, misery is a river, it's a river of tears
Well, misery is a river, it's a river of tears
