"Riverbank" lyrics

Thirty-three, I've been on the edge findin'
Where my head fits in, all the lives I've led
Twenty-two, never left the island
So convinced I'd be what I would become

Twenty years sat on the brink, I am a riverbank
Oh, Lord, I'm waitin' for you
Twenty years, I've written my lines, so long I'm mummified
And the river that I'm holdin', never lost my vision
But time is on my side, time is on my side

Forty-one, I've done things I'd murder for
Raisin' boys is a pedal to the floor
When I was twelve, I was flexin' muscle in
Dirty mirrors and you were bein' formed

Twenty years sat on the brink, I am a riverbank
Oh, Lord, I'm waitin' for you
Twenty years, I've written my lines, so long I'm mummified
And the river that I'm holdin', never lost my vision
But time is on my side, time is on my side

Oh, Lord

Sixty-four, will I still be waitin'?
Combed my hair back to try to stop the past
You'll be gone, you'll be livin' large in three
City's far away, I will be in you

Twenty years sat on the brink, I am a riverbank
Oh, Lord, I'm waitin' for you
Twenty years, I've written my lines, so long I'm mummified
And the river that's still holdin', never lost my vision
But time is on my side, time is on my side
Oh, Lord
