The River of Water

In the time that remains the stars will fade
 Doesn't take what's wrong and make it right
 It doesn't change what's come before
 A lot of people want to turn their heads
 And wave a flag and claim a moral fight
 When there's nothing right about it
 One of the little lies of time
 Just because you're after all the men
 Doesn't take what's wrong and make it right
 It doesn't change what's come before
 A lot of people want to clear their head
 Or beat a drum and hold your head up high
 When there's nothing right about it
 One of the little lies of time
 A freighter goes to shore
 Puts a weighted line
 The sun goes down
 And all this dirt, it turns to black
 A restless sleeper sticks his head outside
 And sees the light and feels it come inside
 But he doesn't recognize
 It's my kind of little lie
 And my tastes hold in the middle of the night
 My kind of little lie
 And I know all the pretenders
 It's all right
 My kind of little lying time
 Lying time
 A lying time
 A lying time
