Bilingual
Where the river runs to black
I take the schoolbooks from your pack
Plastics, wire and your kiss
The breath of eternity on your lips
In the crowded marketplace
I drift from face to face
Hold my breath and close my eyes
Hold my breath and close my eyes
And I wait for paradise
And I wait for paradise
ย
The Virginia hills have gone to brown
Another day, another sun goin' down
I visit you in another dream
I visit you in another dream
I reach and feel your hair
Your smell lingers in the air
I brush your cheek with my fingertips
I taste the void upon your lips
And I wait for paradise
And I wait for paradise
ย
I search for you on the other side
Where the river runs clean and wide
Up to my heart the waters rise
Up to my heart the waters rise
I sink 'neath the water cool and clear
Drifting down I disappear
I see you on the other side
I search for the peace in your eyes
They're as empty as paradise
They're as empty as paradise
ย
I break above the waves
I feel the sun upon my face
