Dragging Hooks (River Song Trilogy, Part III)

Lyrics

Can't lose the taste of this river mud Black water in my lungs They say you can't step in the same river twice Well, I've been stepping in this river seems like most my life So sharpen up those dragging hooks Pull that sheep shank tight Cast into the river, boys We're dragging for those lost years tonight See that man, he's lost his wife Said she'd be home by eight But that was well on three weeks ago Now he's walking those banks searching for clues to her fate See that boy, he's lost his girl Flash flood stole her away Now he keeps a vigil on that suspension bridge Praying for that river to return her one day So sharpen up those dragging hooks Tie that clove hitch tight Cast into the river, boys We're dragging for lost love tonight Can't lose the taste of this river mud Black water in my lungs They say even the weariest river in the end will find the sea But here among the cattails, all we discuss is breaking free So sharpen up those dragging hooks Tie that sheep shank tight Cast into the water, boys We're dragging for lost souls tonight
