06 On The Riverside

On The Riverside
Lachlan Davidson, Kristi Cox, Stephen Mougin

Another dawn, another day
I’m pretending everything’s ok
No one knows beneath my smile
The blue skies are the darkest shade of gray
I see the water rising and the walls are caving in
I close my eyes and I go back again

Chorus: On the riverside, watching life flow by
Let it carry away all the pain inside my heart It’s a start
I go washing my troubles down by the riverside.

Another state, another town
Darkness seems to follow me around
There’s no map for this road I’m on
Wonder why the world would slow me down
Dreaming still reminds me of the reasons I should try
I take a breath and then I close my eyes

Chorus: On the riverside, watching life flow by
Let it carry away all the pain inside my heart It’s a start
I go washing my troubles down by the riverside.

Knowing the horizon is as far as I can see but I’ll let the current take a hold of me
