Lyrics for By And Down The River
Moving in and out of the shadow It's no easy mission Holding on to how I picture you Showing only bits and pieces Till the light betrayed you and your empty allocution Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of it Searching your eyes for humility Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace I'm still searching, searching Showing all the bits and pieces Till the tide betrayed you and your empty allocution Float the Piper by and down the river Carcass crippled underneath the pounding waves of adoration Pied Piper, float on down the river Bloated carcass crippled me, the weight of adoration I'm moving in and out of the shadows It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you
