She walked down to the river
Felt the warm sun fade into night
Looking up she starts to shiver
Cold and tired of the fight
She's been so long in this world
She'd hang on if she could
She had hoped for so much more
Those dreams are buried in the mud
Wading into the deep
Hands raised up to the sky
Back at home, they're all asleep
No one there to say goodbye
She's been so long in this world
She'd hang on if she could
She had hoped for so much more
Those dreams are buried in the mud
With each step a memory
Flashes through her troubled mind
Hopes that will not ever be
Another thing she'll leave behind
She walked down to the river
Felt the warm sun fade into night
Looking up she starts to shiver
Cold and tired of the fight
She's been so long in this world
She'd hang on if she could
She had hoped for so much more
Those dreams are buried in the mud
She's been so long in this world
She'd hang on if she could
She had hoped for so much more
Those dreams are buried in the mud
