Untethered Heart

I remember when I used to pretend
 That the future wouldn't ever arrive
 The beginning's got to come before the end
 Truth is always sharper than a lie
 Take me down to the river
 Wash my past in the water
 Pull my soul from the desert
 Take this heart off its tether
 All the people that I used to call my friends
 Where are they now?
 Sometimes I'd think I'd like to make amends
 But I don't know how
 Take me down to the river
 Wash my past in the water
 Pull my soul from the desert
 Take this heart off its tether
 Late at night when the stars come out
 My dreams go dancing with my doubt
 In the first rosy rays of dawn
 They come stumbling arm in arm
 Take me down to the river
 Wash my past in the water
 Pull my soul from the desert
 Take this heart off its tether
