By The Rivers Dark
By the rivers dark
I wandered on
I lived my life
in Babylon
and I did forget
my holy song
and I had no strength
in Babylon
by the rivers dark
where I could not see
who was waiting there
who was hunting me
and he cut my lip
and he cut my heart
so I could not drink
from the river dark
and he covered me
and I saw within
my lawless heart
and my wedding ring
I did not know
and I could not see
who was waiting there
who was hunting me
by the rivers dark
I panicked on
I belonged at last
to Babylon
then he struck my heart
with a deadly force
and he said,“This heart
it is not yours.”
and he gave the wind
my wedding ring
and he circled us
with everything
by the rivers dark
in a wounded dawn
I live my life
in Babylon
tho' I take my song
from a withered limb
both song and tree
they sing for him
be the truth unsaid
and the blessing gone
if I forget
my Babylon
I did not know
and I could not see
who was waiting there
who was hunting me
by the rivers dark
where it all goes on
by the rivers dark
in Babylon
