There's a river of darkness in my blood And through every vein i feel the flood I can find no bridge for me to cross No way to bring back what is lost Into the night it soon will sweep Down where all my grievances i keep But it won't wash away the years Or one single hard and bitter tear And the rock of ages i have known Is a weariness down in the bone I use to ride it like a rolling stone Now just carry it alone There's a highway risin' from my dreams Deep in the heart i know it gleams For i have seen it stretching wide Clear across to the other side Beyond the river and the flood And the valley where for so long i've stood With the rock of ages in my bones Someday i know it will lead me home
