John Cale
NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
You're too soon into the desert
The corner of the sun
Awoken by the river
The river rushing by
The river rushing by
The river rushing by
The river rushing by
In my corner of the sky

I'd been awoken by the river
Rushing by
Carrying the hopes of many
Its reflection of the sky

Leave me floating on the water
It's a spiteful thing to do
As strong as it was generous
We had a lot of shit to do
River rushing by
River rushing by
River rushing by
What a spiteful thing to do

With the camels standing senseless
From driving through the night
Not so strong and not so fearless
It's not the end of the world tonight
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end of the world tonight
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end of the world
