I can't believe it's true I finally got you here    I've been waiting for this moment for some years    I’ve been torn down enough to know    Everyone goes through this door    Just before their lives explode    Come in here with a heavy load      Walking down the road watching the day begin    Radio song is playing off in a distant wind    But you can feel it it's a gentle love    Coming out soft from the windows above    Just when you have had enough    Here comes the world you’ve been dreaming of       Oh my my the Mystic River    She takes your heart    And you will forgive her    Lay me down beside the water    I look across at the sons and daughters       Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon    Even the stars at night they fade away too soon    You can’t do much about the trouble life brings    Cut all the lines so the phones don’t ring    But stay here once from spring to spring    Watching the ice melt the mornings sing       Oh my my the Mystic River    She takes your heart    And you will forgive her    Lay me down beside the water    I miss my sons I miss my daughter now       There’s a tree that grows out in the burning sands    Never a drop of rain that nobody understands    You can push me I don’t mind    Leave me out here and I’ll be fine    Cause everyone’s gonna have their time    Up or down honey you decide       Oh my my the Mystic River    She takes your heart    And you will forgive her    Lay me down beside the water    I miss my sons I miss my daughter now
