When she woke up she knew what she was gonna do that day The wedding ring was burning a hole in the drawer she had to throw that thing away So she took it from the dresser and she tucked it in her purse What was once her greatest blessing had become her deepest hurt She drove that honda past the memories of their bittersweet romance The parking lot where they first kissed, thе pool hall where they dancеd And way out to that country church high up on that ridge Where she walked down clutching the ring in her hand and stood crying on the bridge Chorus: Out of the river it came, back to the river it goes Falling with the rain to the water grey and cold A miner must have panned it A jeweler shaped the gold Out of the river it came, back to the river it goes There was an old man on the bank who stood and watched her from afar A single silent witness to the baring of her heart And with the black mascara rain streaming down her face A fallen angel spreads her broken wings to fly back up to grace As her past is washed away Chorus: Out of the river it came, back to the river it goes Falling with the rain to the water grey and cold A miner must have panned it A jeweler shaped the gold Out of the river it came, back to the river it goes When she woke up she knew what she was gonna do that day The wedding ring was burning a hole in her soul she had to throw that thing away
