The Riverboat Song
Black Gold

I see double up ahead

Where the riverboat sways beneath the sun

Is where the river runs red

Like a king who stalks the wings and shoots a dove

And frees an eagle instead

It's more or less the same as the things that you said


I see trouble up the road

Like the things you found in love are by the way

And like to cheat on your soul

Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control

Before you lie in your bed


It's more or less the same as the things that you said

Anyway for all the things you know

Tell me why does the river not flow

Anyway for all the things you've said

Tell me why does the river run red

Anyway for all the things you've seen

Tell me when will the river run green

Anyway for all the things you know

Tell me why does the river not flow.


It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way

That's your trouble

Like a king who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars

And his double

It's more or less the same as the things that you said

I see trouble up ahead

Where the riverboat sways beneath the sun

Is where the river runs red

I see double - that's my trouble.
