By the rivers dark I wandered on I lived my life in Babylon
and I did forget my holy song and I had no strength in Babylon
by the rivers dark where I could not see who was waiting there who was hunting me
and he cut my lip and he cut my heart so I could not drink from the river dark
and he covered me and I saw within my lawless heart and my wedding ring
I did not know and I could not see who was waiting there who was hunting me
by the rivers dark I panicked on I belonged at last to Babylon
then he struck my heart with a deadly force and he said,“This heart it is not yours.”
and he gave the wind my wedding ring and he circled us with everything
by the rivers dark in a wounded dawn I live my life in Babylon
tho' I take my song from a withered limb both song and tree they sing for him
be the truth unsaid and the blessing gone if I forget my Babylon
I did not know and I could not see who was waiting there who was hunting me
by the rivers dark where it all goes on by the rivers dark in Babylon
