Blue Rodeo - Mystic River lyrics

rate me

I can't believe it's true I finally got you here <br />

I been waiting for this moment for some years <br />

I’ve been torn down enough to know <br />

Everyone goes through this door <br />

Just before their lives explode <br />

Come in here with a heavy load<br />

<br />

Walking down the road watching the day begin <br />

Radio song is playing off in a distant wind <br />

But you can feel it its a gentle love <br />

Coming out soft from the windows above <br />

Just when you have had enough <br />

Here comes the world you’ve been dreaming of <br />

<br />

Oh my my the Mystic River <br />

She takes your heart <br />

And you will forgive her <br />

Lay me down beside the water <br />

I look across at the sons and daughters <br />

<br />

Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon <br />

Even the stars at night they fade away too soon <br />

You can’t do much about the trouble life brings <br />

Cut all the lines so the phones don’t ring <br />

But stay here once from spring to spring <br />

Watching the ice melt the mornings sing <br />

<br />

Oh my my the Mystic River <br />

She takes your heart <br />

And you will forgive her <br />

Lay me down beside the water <br />

I miss my sons I miss my daughter now <br />

<br />

There’s a tree that grows out in the burning sands <br />

Never a drop of rain that nobody understands <br />

You can push me I don’t mind <br />

Leave me out here and I’ll be fine <br />

Cause everyone’s gonna have their time <br />

Up or down honey you decide <br />

<br />

Oh my my the Mystic River <br />

She takes your heart <br />

And you will forgive her <br />

Lay me down beside the water <br />

I miss my sons I miss my daughter now
