Blood flows like a river
and the river flows like wine
the grapes crawl up the hillside
and I try to unwind
The years they pass like blowing leaves
the days are slow as mud
and the love I feel for you, dear
is like the river when it flood
What I know, what I know,
what I know, what I know
The years they pass like blowing leaves
the days are slow as mud
and the love I feel for you, dear
is like the river when it flood

The wheels come off the wagon
and the wagon off the road
the road won’t take you anywhere
it’s a weight without a load
They coulda seen it comin’
but their eyes were on their prey
and the love I feel for you, dear
is like comin’ home to stay

A plague of locusts gathers
fever stalks the land
princes in their palaces
pretend they’re in command
People are invisible
in the darkness of this night
and the love I feel for you, dear,
is like a ray of light
