I'm going down to the river, I'm gonna look for you I know you'll be waiting there, cause it's a woman's trade I'm gonna give you what you want, cause you've asked it I don't even wanna know your name, but you'll remember mine You will remember my name Like the lights in the movies, I'll be waiting And the days in the heat of her vengeance You'll know what I wanted, but she wouldn't admit I'll show her, I'll show the world, just what they asked for They'll remember my name What you want most well they'll do to you Everything before it changes seems to be made of gold Made of gold In some strange way I'm preparing myself for you I've been waiting all my life But I won't give you what you want, I won't fight I will live, I'll tell, and you will remember me You'll remember my name You try to hide me under the mattress And all your other short sins I'll come back, a click in my spine We'll order our lives like a metronome You can't shut it off What you want most well they'll do to you Everything before it changes seems to be made of gold Made of gold And like the river, you will remember my song Cause love is a heartbeat away from here
