River Painted Black

I didn't mean to be unkind,
I've got thoughts that cross my mind,
That not the devil would think.

In the middle of the night,
I've got to draw myself a line,
As I'm starting to sink.

Into a river painted black.
There's no turning back.
It's got my soul,
And it won't let me go.

All I wanted to know,
Was where did I go wrong?
Why has all my life been a sad song?

All I wanted to see,
Never came to be.
Why has all my life been a sad song for me?

The river does more than it should. That turn into 'sad song' risks sentimentality but you pull it off. barely.
