[00:00.81]Eternity
[00:01.52]Richard Marx
[00:02.36]
[00:39.17]I was born on the banks of Eternity,
[00:43.95]A page of the history it teaches.
[00:50.34]Not a care, lived my life like a hurricane,
[00:54.93]Leaving everything along the way in pieces.
[00:58.86]
[00:59.57]Some may have cheered, some may have wondered,
[01:05.41]If I am flesh, if I am stone.
[01:11.24]Thoughts of you tear through me like thunder.
[01:16.80]You are the light that has led me back home.
[01:22.76]
[01:23.91]Take me to the river, baby.
[01:26.77]Wash away the lies.
[01:29.20]I've got no reputation living in your eyes.
[01:35.31]Take me to Eternity.
[01:38.21]Let me bury this disguise.
[01:42.50]
[01:53.08]A Southern boy has it harder sometimes.
[01:58.00]It's like you were climbing a razor.
[02:04.52]You were there when my dreams had all turned to dust,
[02:09.31]And the man in the mirror was a stranger.
[02:13.64]
[02:13.99]Look at me now, a soulless survivor.
[02:19.60]No mask can hide the man that I've made.
[02:25.54]You ease my pain. You make it silent.
[02:30.95]Slowly I feel it beginning to fade.
[02:36.96]
[02:38.21]Take me to the river, baby.
[02:41.14]Wash away the lies.
[02:43.43]I've got no reputation living in your eyes.
[02:49.29]Take me to Eternity.
[02:52.52]Let me bury this disguise.
[02:57.00]
[03:00.44]I want to feel it,
[03:03.43]Rushing over me into the tide.
[03:10.76]I want to taste it,
[03:14.90]Every moment 'til the end of my life!
[03:23.43]
[03:45.53]I have laid still, adrift in your memory,
[03:51.07]Hoping your faith would erase all the years.
[03:56.93]Maybe some time, maybe some magic,
[04:02.40]Maybe your love will make everything clear.
[04:09.03]
[04:12.57]Take me to the river, baby.
[04:15.40]Wash away the lies.
[04:17.74]I've got no reputation living in your eyes.
[04:23.95]Take me to Eternity.
[04:26.83]Let me bury this disguise.
[04:31.56]
[04:35.40]Take me to the river, baby.
[04:38.24]Wash away the lies.
[04:40.53]There are no expectations hiding in your eyes.
[04:46.78]Take me to Eternity.
[04:49.65]Let me bury this . . . disguise.
