Lyrics:
a town by the tidewater
Right near the Chesapeake bay
But when I go back it's not my life
It's different and everything's changed
I'm homesick for
Scribble down my thoughts
Can't ignore the pain
I nailed them to the cross
Then took them back again
Jotting down these words
Trying to explain
cleaning jobs
So he learned how life could be
From the Western films his dad had left
On a shelf by the TV
So pull down those posters
You put up all round
There are islands for bakers and bankers and thieves.
And you row & row & row your boat on down the baby river
Row it oh so gently, as though life were
Yeah
It was death by stereo
When they dealt the final blow
Nowhere to go
I turned into a killer
I'm insane
I'll cry you a river
Down the drain
Are you
I watch you floating away down the River Lethe,
but I can only wait on the banks trying to remember your face
And it hits me in the strangest way
treat
But I don't get my rocks off living in a pinchgut town
I burned my lover down
Now I count the ashes by the pound
Bet you can't dig me out
From
You're the one that never lets me sleep
To my mind down to my soul you touch my lips
You're the one that I can't wait to see
With you here by my side
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Oh-oh, oh-oh
out in our makeshift bed
And we'll walk down to the river, picking out dogwoods on the side
Cause I just love seeing her, with those diamonds in her
out that I am not the one
Ooh, I've been running from the devil late last night he's coming after me
Ooh, I'm run down to the river jump in muddy water
You're the one that never lets me sleep
To my mind down to my soul you touch my lips
You're the one that I can't wait to see
With you here by my side
So we sat by the river
We we're both skipping stones
Mine into the water
Yours into my heart
And we only see the lines they make
When they strike
The antique people are down in the dungeons
Run by machines and afraid of the tax
Their heads in the grave and their hands on their eyes
Hauling
were still lobe-sided and charred. And when they thought I wasn't looking they threw them to the dogs.
After breakfast we spent the rest of the day down
the bond woman down by the boorie
Sings with a heart grown wild
How a hundred rivers are flowing
Between herself and her child.
'The geese, even they
like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open-mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below
Believes their
The villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes
above
Hallelujah, oh hallelujah
They use to walk singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure
She had to go away
And she never knew what
would not want to hear
You wouldn't listen if I talked anyway
For you were too weighed down by your own fears
Look at the child with the dream in
Is the silence that I keep
It poisons me I can't swim free
The river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch
I am no worse than most
In love
and darkness fills
My secret heart forbidden
I think you worried for me then
The subtle way that I'd give in, but I know
You like the show
Tied down
would not want to hear
You wouldn't listen if I talked anyway
For you were too weighed down by your own fears
Look at the child with the dream in
and darkness fills
My secret heart forbidden
I think you worried for me then
The subtle way that I'd give in, but I know
You like the show
Tied down
