Upriver

Looks like I’m going

Up this old river in the dark

No flickering, hardly a spark

To light my way

Nobody knowing

How fast the water’s flowing by

Hardly the blinking of an eye

And it takes you under

But it’s worth the trying

And I’d be lying if I said

Playing those games up in your head

Won’t make you want it more

You may never get the chance again

My friend, my friend

You may never see the day

Ten thousand hanging on your every word

I heard it was worth whatever price you had to pay

Worth whatever price you had to pay

Guess I’ll be climbing

Out of the canyon at the end

Into the breach again, and then

No one can say

Mine for the finding

When the winding way is done

Like everything under the sun

It fades away

You may never get the chance again

My friend, my friend

You may never see the day

Ten thousand hanging on your every word

I heard it was worth whatever price you had to pay

Worth whatever price you had to pay

Worth whatever lonely price you had to pay

Looks like I’m going

Up this old river in the dark

No flickering, hardly a spark

To light my way
