Red River

Lyrics

Tell me where the blood red river runs From my back door to the rising sun On again away till dawn Never straight and way too long I weighed the trees and hills on scales The zig-zag lightning and killer whales Silver clouds reflected in deep I don't measure up I don't measure up Red water's boiling the wind will blow it Halfway 'cross the ocean the wind will blow it Red water's boiling the wind will blow it Halfway 'cross the ocean the wind will blow it I am a liar I rage on paper A piece of string could only do better Been talking for years it's hard to remember A piece of string could only do better Tell me where the blood red river runs From my back door to the rising sun On again away till dawn Never straight and way too long Way too long Way too long Way too long Red water's boiling the wind will blow it Red water's boiling the wind will blow it Red water's boiling the wind will blow it Red water's boiling the wind will blow
