Pain lies on the riverside

I have never taken Life Yet I have often paid the price And you, you are a victim of this age And the guilt that hangs around your neck Has got me locked up in a cage You've got to learn to live until no end But first you must learn to swim All over again Because... Pain lies on the riverside And Pain will never say goodbye Pain Lies on the Riverside So put you feet in the water Put your head in the water Put your soul in the water And join me for a swim tonight I have forever, always tried To stay clean and constantly baptized I am aware that the river's banks are dry And to wait for a flood Is to wait for life I've got to learn to live until no end But first I must learn to swim all Over again, Because... Pain lies on the Riverside.
