Can't be Long Lyrics
Well I think I'll go
Down to the river
And let that water
Wash over me
Yes I think I'll go
Down to the river
And let that water
Wash over me
Coz it can't be long
You know it can't be long
Until my lord remembers me
Well I think I'll go
Into the forest
And let that darkness
Rush over me
Yes I think I'll go
Into the forest
And let that darkness
Rush over me
Coz it can't be long
You know it can't be long
Until my lord remembers me
Well I think I'll go
Into the mountains
And let that cold wind
Cut right through me
Yes I think I'll go
High into the mountains
And let that cold wind
Cut right through me
Coz it can't be long
You know it can't be long
Until my lord remembers me
Well I think I'll go
Deep into the valley
And let that green grass
Grow over me
Yes I think I'll go
Deep into the valley
And let that green grass
Grow over me
Coz it can't be long
It really can't be long
Until my lord remembers me
No it can't be long
I hope it won't be long
Until my lord remembers me
<instrumental>
Down to the river
And let that water
Wash over me
Down to the river
And let that water
Wash over me
You know it can't be long
Until my lord remembers me
Into the forest
And let that darkness
Rush over me
Into the forest
And let that darkness
Rush over me
You know it can't be long
Until my lord remembers me
Into the mountains
And let that cold wind
Cut right through me
High into the mountains
And let that cold wind
Cut right through me
You know it can't be long
Until my lord remembers me
Deep into the valley
And let that green grass
Grow over me
Deep into the valley
And let that green grass
Grow over me
It really can't be long
Until my lord remembers me
I hope it won't be long
Until my lord remembers me

I think this song is supposed to be ironic. The singer has lost faith in the idea of God and has resigned herself to giving it, ironically claiming that it won't until God remembers her. The idea is interesting because God, being loving and all-seeing shouldn't really 'forget'
