River Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The rain shuffled in on a wind from the east Equally falling on man and beast Where you're sat between a rock and a wounded tree And sorrow maybe fifty fathoms deep, in Gods purpose do you dwell? Or did you hang your colours on the gates of hell? Tears running clearer than a morning bell That I know never rang for you [Chorus] You should go down to the riverside Where the fishes in shadows glide Stay and rest your weary limbs On the edge of where the end begins You should go down to the rivers turn Where the secrets in shadows burn Your scars were never hard to earn And you still got a lot to learn [Verse 2] You keep reliving that spark and crack Tearing at your brain like a heart attack And there's no cure for a Macbeth hand And the pounding in your ears like a marching band That boy lying on the blasted grass Red wrapped round like a scarlet scarf And the jokes on him so why's hard to laugh? 'Cause it's nothing that he didn't deserve Nobody else around made the car swerve Showing his face around here, he had nerve White out lines still ghost on the curb Brand new black hole so deep it's absurd [Pre-Chorus] I know you miss her I know you miss her, miss her I know you miss her [Chorus] You should go down to the riverside Where the fishes in shadows glide Stay and rest your weary limbs On the edge of where the end begins You should go down to the rivers turn Where the secrets in shadows burn Your scars were never hard to earn And you've still got a lot to learn [Verse 3] 24 nights in McCarthy's landscape Staring down a barrel of a demons handshake And crossing crossroads on lost roads and off world Scanning star maps for the eyes of a lost girl You can't stay her much longer In the back of the Honda Another back of beyonder Too sad, too somber Feeling like hope's a goner But I don't wanna leave you neither Digging up the seeds of the fever Should find a phone and call your mother She told me she's not sleeping either And nobody back home believes that what you did was right But who could be too quick to blame? If they'd been in the same position you were They'd have all done the same Done the same, done the same, yeah [Pre-Chorus] I know you miss her I know you miss her, miss her I know you miss her I know you miss her, miss her I know you miss her I know you miss her, miss her I know you miss her I know you miss her, miss her [Chorus] You should go down to the riverside Where the fishes in shadows glide Stay and rest your weary limbs On the edge of where the end begins You should go down to the rivers turn Where the secrets in shadows burn Your scars were never hard to earn And you've still got a lot to learn
