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
