Blue Rodeo - Mystic River lyrics

I can't believe it's true
I finally got you here
I been waiting for this moment for some years
I've been torn down enough to know
Everyone goes through this door
Just before their lives explode
Come in here with a heavy load

Walking down the road watching the day begin
Radio song is playing off in a distant wind
But, you can feel it, it's a gentle love
Coming out soft from the windows above
Just when you have had enough
Here comes the world you've been dreaming of

Oh my, my, the Mystic River
She takes your heart and you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I look across at the sons and daughters

Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon
Even the stars at night they
Fade away too soon you can't do much about
The trouble life brings
Cut all the lines so the phones don't ring
But stay here once from spring to spring
Watching the ice melt the mornings sing

Oh my, my, the Mystic River
She takes your heart and you will forgive her
And lay me down beside the water
I miss my sons, I miss my daughter now
Oh, now oh, oh

There's a tree that grows out
In the burning sands
Never a drop of rain that nobody understands
But, you can push me, I don't mind
Leave me out here and I'll be fine
Cause everyone's gonna have their time
Up or down, honey, you decide

And oh my, my, the Mystic River
She takes your heart and you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I miss my sons I miss my daughter now
Oh, now woah, ooh hmm mmm
