the band – amazon (river of dreams) lyrics
i went on the river for money, i sold my old rotten shack
for a rusty tanker leaking oil, and the burning sun was on my back
traveled up the ragin’ river, i watched the jungle burn
and in the reddenin’ twilight, i wondered would i ever return.
ridin’ on a river of dreams,
broken dreams.
i’m ridin’ on a river of dreams.
amazon, amazon,
is it heaven or h-ll?
amazon.
an eagle flew above us, i felt the breezes blow.
fish with teeth like ivory, waited down below.
on sh-r- they cut and hammered, and fenced them in with wire.
while ancient fires in the jungle, burned our souls like fire.
ridin’ on a river of dreams,
somebody’s dreams.
i’m ridin’ on a river of dreams.
amazon, amazon,
is it heaven or h-ll ?
amazon.
what kind of creature’s gonna rise up from these ashes?
what’s gonna fly in the moonlight feathers aglow?
what kind of rain could come in from these sorrows?
n-body knows, n-body knows.
at dawn we crossed the rapids, a place where few men go.
i felt the desolation, where nothing seemed to grow.
when i got my wages, i hung my head and cried.
i could not stop these visions, that swept in like the tide.
ridin’ on a river of dreams,
broken dreams.
i’m ridin’ on a river of dreams.
amazon, amazon,
is it heaven or h-ll ?
amazon.
oh, amazon, amazon, amazon, amazon.
