MYSTIC RIVER song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

Mystic River swallow me
drown me in serenity
take me to the other shore
where I won't grieve no more
leave me on the other side
where her arms are open wide

Mystic River water flow
past the life I used to know
where the leaves have all but died
and the tears have all been cried
where the whipporwill still sings
at the promise of the spring

Mystic River Mystic River Mystic River
dark and strong
Mystic River Mystic River Mystic River
hear my song

Massachusetts is so cold
and their ghosts are more than old
the sky has gone a deeper blue
bluer than the eyes of you
and the nights are full of stars
none will tell me where you are

so give me something more than hope
throw me something like a rope
rescue me or let me down
pull me up and let me found
Mystic River carry me
let my soul and heart be free

Mystic River Mystic River Mystic River
dark and strong
Mystic River Mystic River Mystic River
hear my song
