I saw a psychic
And she told me you were coming home soon
And I believed her
'Cause I cannot stand
Another faithless day down by the river
While I wait and wait for you
I saw your mother and God help me
But I bit down on my tongue
Even hope's a bitter drink
And I don't know what you'd think
Of where I get hope from
And you got that from your childhood home

Don't you ask me
Where the rolling river goes
'Cause I don't know
And I don't wanna know

Saw a numerologist
And asked him to read seconds of my life
Asked where God would find me
Why faith never dignifies me
And how far as I'm aware of time
I'm seconds off, I'm never quite aligned
I saw him frown
I saw him pray for me
Without the nerve to speak the words
And I went right back to the river
And I tried to bathe it off
And I tried to be a baptist
But I'm still just seconds off

Don't you ask me
Where the rolling river goes
'Cause I don't know
And I don't wanna know

So, I saw the undertaker
Fingers with all rings and many stones of gold
Tried to turn my pockets out
Sent pennies falling graceless to the ground
I saw it cross her then
It wouldn't be enough to bring you home
And I'm a saint now
I'm the patron of all beat-up dawn commutes
And I think faith's for those with healthy homesteads
Rosaries and rings of gold
When you've got nothing left
There is no food of faith
Just pennies in your hand

So don't you ask me
Where the rolling river goes
'Cause I don't know
And I don't wanna know

I go back to the river
And I don't think it means anything at all
I've been withered bone-deep
I keep heckling your ghost
See, I gave everything I've left and let it sink
And now there's nothing but to drink
Deep from my open palms
And pray in time that summer calls me down
And I let it revive me
Let the river crucify me
I let everybody in
And I let everybody see me as I am
And I will see your loving face again
I will see your loving face again

Mercy, I gave all that I had left
And I will raise you from the riverbed

Don't you ask me
Where the rolling river goes
'Cause I don't know
And I don't wanna know

Don't you ask me
Where the rolling river goes
'Cause I don't know
And I don't wanna know

Don't you ask me
Where the rolling river goes
'Cause I don't know
And I don't wanna know

Don't you ask me
Where the rolling river goes
'Cause I don't know
And I don't wanna know

Don't you ask me
Where the rolling river goes
'Cause I don't know
And I don't wanna know
