River Road
River Road
On the mountain tops where the glacier flows
To a trickle-down effect near River Road,
A deep sleep shadows the valley of hops and maize below.
Satan's worst pecks away near a lower plateau.
As demons transform evil into the black mystical crow;
A scarecrow protects all the souls harvested near River Road.
While the sitar plays to the rhythm of the new found sound,
The soul seeks earthly thoughts that heaven does surround.
As River Road leads to a place life will willingly go,
It must be that place hidden in a universe of mystical crows.
Our love will climb the mountain tops where the glacier flows;
We will grow our hearts together in a place near River Road.
