lyrics

Down life's river we take a boat, most of us trying just to stay afloat.
You drop your guard you'll get washed away, we can lose everything in a day.

So journey with me if you please, life's sweet mystery we'll both see.
Will you sink or swim at my side, or will you be taken by the tide?

A stowaway on a big ship am I, I just hide and try to get high.
And when a new port of call appears, I journey onward, forget all my years.

So what's the script are you lost like me? You'll take the next river and see?
Don't blame anyone when you get lost, and sanity of mind is the cost.
