To The River Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

(Janis Ian/John Vezner/John Mellencamp) 

They are master and slaves 

We are sunlight and shadow 

All roads to the river 

I am lost, I am saved 

I'm beloved and betrayed 

All roads to the river 

CHORUS 

And the river runs wide 

And the river runs deep 

And I spit in the eye 

Of safe company 

When I dive right down 

To the undertow 

Well, the deeper I drown 

Lord, the higher I'll go 

I am whispering dreams 

I am howling recolutions 

All roads to the river 

I am Valentine sweet 

And I live in this nightmare 

All roads to the river 

CHORUS 

This is nothing like we planned 

That's the way it's always been 

All roads to the river 

I have hated and I have loved 

I have prayed and I have sinned 

All roads to the river 

CHORUS
