In the river of dreams
Your heart turns old
And you wear the Jesus, and you wear the Jesus

Now you will run
For your life
The sinners guns
Been fired twice
Once for the silver
Once for the gold
It's like a river
So I've been told

In the river of dreams
You tell no lie
For you wear the Jesus with sapphire eyes

She turns her cards
To see him come
The skeleton smile
Says his gone
He ran for the silver
Ran for the gold
It's like a river
I've been told

In the river of dreams
You tell no lie
For you wear the Jesus with sapphire eyes

In the river of dreams
Your heart turns old
And you wear the Jesus in silver and gold

The river of dreams
Attach your head
To the machine of all humankind's prayers
When you step down
Into the stream
You'll be dirty instead of clean

And you wear the Jesus
In the river of dreams
You tell no lie
For you wear the Jesus with sapphire eyes

In the river of dreams
Your heart turns old
And you wear the Jesus in silver and gold
