Down by the river where the angels and the devil meet
Where endings come to meet beginnings and pay Charon’s fee
Ten thousand years you’ve roamed alone
While drunken prophets on the way stopped you to say

By the way
All that’s in the Milky Way
By the way
All the oceans are for you
The moon
For you
For you
The moon
For you

Down by the river thirsty sailor’s kisses line the shore
Where mermaids come to hear the sweet lies of troubadours
Ten thousand years you’ve roamed alone
While drunken prophets on the way stopped you to say

By the way
All that’s in the Milky Way
By the way
All the oceans are for you
The moon
For you
For you
The moon
For you
