Live › Lyrics › 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, oh no
Because

Pain lies on the riverside, yeah
And pain will never say goodbye, oh no
Pain lies on the riverside
So put your feet in the water
Put your head in the water
Put your soul in the water
Join me for a swim tonight

I have forever, always tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized
I am aware now 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, yeah
Because

Pain lies on the riverside, yeah
And pain will never say goodbye, oh no
Pain lies on the riverside
So put your feet in the water
Put your head in the water
Come on put your soul in the water
Join me for a swim tonight
For a swim tonight, oh my love

I've got to learn to live until no end
I've got to learn to swim all over, all over, all over again
Yeah yeah yeah yeah because

Pain lies on the riverside
Pain will never say goodbye, oh no
Pain lies on the riverside
So put your feet in the water
Put your head in the water now
Come on put your soul in the water
Join me for a swim tonight
For a swim tonight

Swim all over, all over, all over, all over again
And live all over, all over, all over, all over again
Pain lies on the riverside
