I jumped in the river, what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt

I think this song is about life in general:
"Jumped in the river, what did I see?" The river represents life and when you jumped in it, that's when you're born.
"Black-eyed angels swam with me" The black-eyed angels represent demons and/or hardships. Life is full of both.
"A moon full of stars and astral cars" The moon and stars are objects of inspiration and astral cars is how the imagination interprets them. The astral cars could be planets. Anyway, it says inspiration can be found in life and in the stars above our heads.
"And all the things I used to see" There was more inspiration in the past than there currently is.
"All my lovers were there with me" Love can also be found in life.
"All my past and future" Life holds both your past and future and everything in between.
"And we all went to Heaven in a little row boat" In the end, we'll all go to Heaven when we die.
"There was nothin' to fear and nothin' to doubt" Heaven will be perfect and reliable.
This song brings tears to my eyes. Life captured in eight lines of pure poetry. Just amazing.
