The Silent Comedy River Rolls song lyrics

It’s time that faith forgot

My hand-stained heart will stop

And high on a hill, I’ll soon be still

Embraced by a wooden box

I loan myself to gods

I face their chopping blocks

And boarding my train for a faster pace

I’ll leave my worried lot

And the hair on the face of my father

Marks his way to the grave as it loses its color

But I’ve got a minute if you’ve got a cigarette

We can sit as the river rolls by, oh Lord

We can sit as the river rolls by

My bones, my face, my jaw

Will join the earth and rock

My family will say, “We miss the place

The boy held in our hearts”

And the hair on the face of my father

Marks his way to the grave as it loses its color

But I’ve got a minute if you’ve got a cigarette

We can sit as the river rolls by, oh Lord

We can sit as the river rolls by
