The River
Another sleepless night
She's out at first light
And there's no one here
Who can tell a wrong from right
And her broken man
Will never understand
Just like wind blows
Seems like pain flows through his hands
So she goes down to the river
With a bottle and a bag of bones
Sinks her soul in the water like a stone
And now he's never gonna touch her
You can't break what's done been broke
And there's no light in the river
No way home
Wheels on the road
Gonna roll for sure
'Cause the woman he loves
Just want him back at home
And when the pain is gone
Well a man can move on
There's a million ways to stay
Where you best belong
So he goes down to the river
With a bottle and a bag of bones
Sinks his soul in the water like a stone
And now he's never gonna find her
She disappeared like a curl of smoke
And there's no light in the river
No way home
This world's been breaking us
But there's gotta be something better
Waiting for us
A road that's not strewn with stones
The water that washes us buries us
And the river that drowns us carries us
But I hope that I don't die alone
No
When we go
Down to the river
Down to the river
We go down to the river
All alone
We go
Down to the river
Down to the river
We go down to the river
All alone
Yeah we go down to the river
With a bottle and a bag of bones
Sink our souls in the water like a stone
And now it's never gonna touch us
We kinda bent but we ain't been broke
And there's no light in the river
No way home
Yeah there's no light in the river
No way home
Yeah there's no light in the river
No way home
So we go
Down to the river
Down to the river
We go down to the river
All alone
She's out at first light
And there's no one here
Who can tell a wrong from right
And her broken man
Will never understand
Just like wind blows
Seems like pain flows through his hands
So she goes down to the river
With a bottle and a bag of bones
Sinks her soul in the water like a stone
And now he's never gonna touch her
You can't break what's done been broke
And there's no light in the river
No way home
Wheels on the road
Gonna roll for sure
'Cause the woman he loves
Just want him back at home
And when the pain is gone
Well a man can move on
There's a million ways to stay
Where you best belong
So he goes down to the river
With a bottle and a bag of bones
Sinks his soul in the water like a stone
And now he's never gonna find her
She disappeared like a curl of smoke
And there's no light in the river
No way home
This world's been breaking us
But there's gotta be something better
Waiting for us
A road that's not strewn with stones
The water that washes us buries us
And the river that drowns us carries us
But I hope that I don't die alone
No
When we go
Down to the river
Down to the river
We go down to the river
All alone
We go
Down to the river
Down to the river
We go down to the river
All alone
Yeah we go down to the river
With a bottle and a bag of bones
Sink our souls in the water like a stone
And now it's never gonna touch us
We kinda bent but we ain't been broke
And there's no light in the river
No way home
Yeah there's no light in the river
No way home
Yeah there's no light in the river
No way home
So we go
Down to the river
Down to the river
We go down to the river
All alone
