come down to the
river and I watch as the sun goes down
And I feel the earth shiver
As the darkness comes circling round
And I swore I would not come here
And I know I should not stay
Any thoughts of heaven born I have
I choose to cast them away
She appears by the water in
the light of a quarter moon
She is dressed in lace and velvet and
shades of grays and maroons
She knows without me speaking
until I have her I cannot rest
She smiles as she comes to me
And I lean down and I kiss her breast
She rips the cross from around my neck
She says, take me down to the river bed
For once you have had me,
you'll not be satisfied with the undead
We walk into the river,
oh I cannot see the shore
And I am baptized in dark water,
and I'm hers forevermore
Underneath my feet,
oh, there's a rumble
In the heavens, there are storms
And I feel myself sinking
Into something dark and
