Lyrics

This place I call home is a ghost town
And I'm last of the now dispossessed
All but my own is abandoned and gone
The woods have passed over the rest

Chorus:
But I'm never alone on the river
And the river is never the same
It's tireless and deep and restless like me
To be home and to be miles away

Just between me and the river
And that train that comes hurtling through
I wouldn't trade this for whatever I've missed
Staying here instead of just passing through

Chorus:
Cuz I'm never alone on the river

It wasn't always like this in the old days
I'd walk for miles just to catch a good ride
It was either where I'd just left or what was up next
And in between whatever I'd just passed by

Chorus:
(Now) I'm never alone on the river
