Version 1 of the lyrics
1	By the river's dark, I wandered on						By the rivers dark	1
2	I lived my life in Babylon						I wandered on.	2
3							I lived my life	3
4	And I did forget my holy song						in Babylon.	4
1	And I had no strength in Babylon							1
5							And I did forget	5
6	By the river's dark, where I could not see						My holy song:	6
7	Who was waiting there, who was hunting me?						And I had no strength	7
8							In Babylon.	8
2	And he cut my lip and he cut my heart							2
9	So I could not drink from the river dark						By                             the rivers dark	9
10							Where I could not see	10
11	And he covered me and I saw within						Who was waiting there	11
12	My lawless heart and my wedding ring						Who was hunting me.	12
3								3
13	I did not know and I could not see						And he cut my lip	13
14	Who was waiting there, who was hunting me?						And he cut my heart.	14
15							So I could not drink	15
16	By the river's dark, I panicked on						From the river dark.	16
4	I belonged at last to Babylon							4
17							And he covered me,	17
18	Then he struck my heart with a deadly force						And I saw within,	18
19	And he said, "This heart, it is not yours"						My lawless heart	19
20							And my wedding ring,	20
5	And he gave the wind, my wedding ring							5
21	And he circled us with everything						I did not know	21
22							And I could not see	22
23	By the river's dark in a wounded dawn						Who was waiting there,	23
24	I live my life in Babylon						Who was hunting me.	24
6								6
25	Though I take my song from a withered limb						By the rivers dark	25
26	Both song and tree they sing for him						I panicked on.	26
27							I belonged at last	27
28	Be the truth unsaid and the blessing gone						to Babylon.	28
7	If I forget my Babylon							7
29							Then he struck my heart	29
30	I did not know and I could not see						With a deadly force,	30
31	Who was waiting there, who was hunting me?						And he said, ‘This heart:	31
32							It is not yours.’	32
8	By the river's dark where it all goes on							8
	By the river's dark in Babylon						And he gave the wind
1							My wedding ring;	1
2							And he circled us	2
3							With everything.	3
4								4
5							By the rivers dark,	5
6							In a wounded dawn,	6
7							I live my life	7
8							In Babylon.	8
9								9
10							Though I take my song	10
11							From a withered limb,	11
12							Both song and tree,	12
13							They sing for him.	13
14								14
15							Be the truth unsaid	15
16							And the blessing gone,	16
17							If I forget	17
18							My Babylon.	18
19								19
20							I did not know	20
21							And I could not see	21
22							Who was waiting there,	22
23							Who was hunting me.	23
24								24
25							By the rivers dark,	25
26							Where it all goes on;	26
27							By the rivers dark	27
28							In Babylon.	28
