Chorus:
The bottom of a river sounds pretty good to me
The bottom of a river sounds pretty good to me
That's one way to leave this life of misery

The bottom of a river sounds pretty good to me
The deeper in the water, the less there is to see
And seeing you leaving just kills me more painfully

At the bottom of a river there's nothing much to hear
The voices saying that you're leaving wouldn't come through so clear
There'd be nothing but bubbles and waves ringing in my ears

Chorus

The bottom of a river is bound to be more soft
Than the bed that we've been sharing for the love life that we lost
A river's bound to be calmer than the troubled seas we've crossed

Chorus

The bottom of a river really don't sound that bad
The bottom of a river really don't sound that bad
I could lie there at the bottom and think back on the love we had
