I'm going down to the river   Gonna look for you   I know you'll be waiting there   'Cause it's a woman's trick      I'm gonna give you what you want   'Cause you've been asking   And I don't even wanna know your name   But you'll remember mine      You will remember my name   You will remember my name   You will remember my name      Like the nights in the movies   I'll be waiting   And the days in the heat of her vengeance      You'll know what I've wanted   What she wouldn't admit   I'll show her, I'll show the world   Just what they asked for      And they'll remember my name   They will remember my name   They will remember my name   They will remember my name      And what you want most will elude you   What you want most will elude you   'Cause everything, before it changes   Seems to be made of gold      Made of gold   Made of gold   Made of gold      In some strange way   I'm preparing myself for you   I've been waiting all my life      But I won't give you what you want   I won't fight, I will live   And tell and you will remember me   You'll remember my name      You will remember my name   You will remember my name   You will remember my name      Try to hide me under the mattress   With all your other short sins   But I'll come back, the click in my spine   Will order our lives like a metronome      You can't shut it off   You can't shut it off   You can't shut it off   You can't shut it off      And what you want most will elude you   What you want most will elude you   'Cause everything, before it changes   Seems to be made of gold      Made of gold   Made of gold   Made of gold   Made of gold      And like the river   You will remember my song   'Cause love is a heartbeat away from here
