Paradise

[Verse 1] Where the river runs to black I take the schoolbooks from your pack Plastics, wire and your kiss The breath of eternity on your lips In the crowded marketplace I drift from face to face I hold my breath and close my eyes[x2] [Chorus] And I wait for paradise[x2] [Verse 2] The Virginia hills have gone to brown Another day, another sun going down I visit you in another dream[x2] I reach and feel your hair Your smell lingers in the air I brush your cheek with my fingertips I taste the void upon your lips [Chorus] [Verse 3] I search for you on the other side Where the river runs clean and wide Up to my heart the waters rise[x2] I sink beneath the river cool and clear Drifting down I disappear I see you on the other side I search for the peace in your eyes [Chorus] [Outro] I break above the waves I feel the sun upon my face
