Twenty years ago I was just a boy time goes so slow when you're havin' fun
My favourite stars are out tonight
So I feel somewhat justified another excuse to confuse abuse and forget myself
Here I go now I know show me the river to drown all my sorrows
Another blow on the bruise Another blow on the bruise
One touch of darkness and you know where you are
For this is my my old true friend
And you know old friends are the best friends 'cause they know just who you are
They take you to a place where you can hide your disgrace and leave you all alone
Swing low swing high My friends I never cry
Way down Deep low To the place where we must go
Another blow on the bruise Another blow on the bruise
I'm just the once upon a time man inviting you to a dream of mine
So welcome won't you come now
But just take your time and when you go back with those stories you gotta tell
Just remember my heaven is another man's hell
The door is always open the door is never closed
And the story is never told so
Show me the river to drown all my sorrows
Another blow on the bruise another blow on the bruise
You can take me in throw me out cut me up shut me out
Nothing you do or say will change my ways
I've been there before and I've come back for more
So ya all gotta sing singalong now
Swing low Swing high My friends I never cry
Way down Deep low To the place where you must go
To the place where you must go Another blow on the bruise
Another blow on the bruise
