The dying light was nearly dead 
by the time we reached the water's edge. 
We saw the river beating on the river bank 
Oh the way that it (something) the riverbed. 

It's cold 
It's dark 
It's not for people with uneasy hearts, 
But if you're with me on the other side 
Strike up the band; we have survived. 

Oh do they beat that drum to get you back home, 
Or do they beat it to keep you away? 

Don't be surprised at your regrets. 
Don't be surprised that the water made you wet. 
There's a shallow down river 
Where the water will forgive you, 
So spend your lukewarm bets 

Follow me, oh follow me; 
Allow me to play the voyager. 
I'll try to keep as dry 
As the hollowed out tree that 
You would be wrapped in another man's fur 

So Take a Dive 
Oh Take a Dive 
Oh take it out on the stepping stones that make the water rise 
So Take a Dive 
Oh Take a Dive 

Ohohohohoh 

Take that hair out of your damned eyes 
While the waves are away 
Now the sun will fade. 

Do they beat that drum to get you back home, 
Or do they beat it to keep you away? 

Will you burn your bridges down 
Singing lalalalalalala 

Will you burn your bridges down 
Singing lalalalalalala 

Will you bang your drum to the blazing sound 
Singing lalalalalalala 

Will you bang your drum to the blazing sound 
Singing lalalalalalala 

Will you turn away? 

How can you turn away?
