Lyrics

A few years back They say a teenage girl on a makeshift raft Went off into the water and She never came back She was way too loaded to swim The current was raging and it pulled her in They never found a body but they searched to no end The river flows on Ever changing, true to none Its endless miles Apologize to no one The river flows on Indifferent to everything Watch it breach its banks And then quietly recede Some say she asked for it As she went sinking down They watched her drown The talking heads are going on about A record breaking epic drought But from 35,000 feet i look down See the tops of the houses submerged Watch a barge move upstream unimpressed like it hadn't heard Crops are destroyed, famine's assured For so long I've been captivated by Her sweet meandering song At the gathering of waters i sing along Some say what happened Is divine vengeance on that town But i have my doubts
