if I could just get out of this debtor's prison
and clear off what I owe
I'd take it to the land of plenty
and build myself a home

won't you find me a river?
with alabaster shores
escape route to the ocean
to the place I was before

the ghosts that haunt this worn out town
they seem all right sometimes
they're only here for comfort
they paid for all their crimes

won't you find me a river?
with alabaster shores
escape route to the ocean
to the place I was before

so what's up there, past those breakers?
the ones I built myself
I think I could get by there
but I know I'll need your help

won't you find me a river?
with alabaster shores
escape route to the ocean
to the place I was before
won't you find me a river?
with alabaster shores
escape route to the ocean
to the place I was before
