Lyrics:

Perrett

Staring at the river
It's such a long time passing
Ooh baby, you give me the shivers
But it just makes me everlasting

Ooh hoo, you know I won't be there
I won't be there, I won't be there
Baby, I won't be there
I won't be there, I won't be there

It's the river of no return

So much water's passed under the bridge
There ain't no way to send it back
I can't help feeling the itch
But I don't know who to scratch

Ooh hoo, you know I won't be there
I won't, I won't be there, I won't be there
Baby, I won't be there
I won't be there, I won't be there

It's the river of no return

We all get punished for our sins
And everybody wants to do you in
Tide's rising, you gotta start swimming
But these waters hold dangerous women

Ooh baby, I won't be there
I won't, I won't be there, I won't be there
Ooh hoo, you know I won't be there

It's the river of no return

I'm sitting and I'm staring at the river
It's such a long time passing
Ooh baby, you give me the shivers
But it just makes me everlasting

Ooh hoo, you know I won't be there
I won't, I won't, I won't be there, I won't, I won't be there
Ooh hoo, you know I won't be there, I won't be there
