lirik lagu where the river goes – house phone

[verse 1]
i saw a psychic
and she told me
you were coming home soon
and i believed her
cause i cannot stand
another faithless
day down by the river
while i wait and wait for you

i saw your mother
and god help me
but i bit down on my tongue
even hope’s a bitter drink
and i don’t know what you’d think
of where i get hope from
and you got that from your childhood home
[chorus]
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i don’t know
and i don’t want to know

[verse 2]
saw a numerologist
and asked him to read
seconds of my life
asked where god would find mе
why faith never dignifies mе
and how far as i’m aware of time
i’m seconds off
i’m never quite aligned

i saw him frown
i saw him pray for me without the nerve
to speak the words
and i went right back to the river
and i tried to bathe it off
and i tried to be a baptist
but i’m still just seconds off

[chorus]
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i don’t know
and i don’t want to know
[verse 3]
so i saw the undertaker
fingers with all rings
of many stones and gold
tried to turn my pockets out
sent pennies falling graceless
to the ground
i saw it cross her then
it wouldn’t be enough to bring you home

and i’m a saint now
i’m the patron of all
beat up dawn commutes
and i think faith’s for those with healthy homesteads
rosaries and rings of gold when
you’ve got nothing left
there is no food of faith just
pennies in your hand

[chorus]
so don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i don’t know
and i don’t want to know

[verse 4]
i go back to the river
and i don’t think it means
anything at all
i’ve been withered bone*deep
i keep heckling your ghost see
i gave everything i’ve left and let it sink
and now there’s nothing but to drink
deep from my open palms
and pray in time that summer calls me down
and i let it revive me
let the river crucify me
i let everybody in and i let
everybody see me as i am
and i will see your loving face again
i will see your loving face again

[bridge]
i will see your loving face again
(don’t you ask me)
mercy, i gave all that i had left
(where the rolling river goes)
i will raise you
(cause i don’t know)
from the river bed
(and i don’t wanna know)

don’t you ask me
(don’t you ask me)
mercy, i gave you all that i had left
(where the rolling river goes)
and i will raise you
(cause i don’t know)
from the river bed
(and i don’t wanna know)
4x

[chorus]
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i don’t know
and i don’t want to know
