Lyrics:
we try
Head to the city for a good time
Out late with it like were doing overtime
Cruising down these backroads
Go to the river and watch how it flows
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
to show
We runaway
Down to the river, lights getting dimmer
One more day
Or until the sun sets, forget our regrets and
I don't wanna call it quits and move
- In a land else build on fear
So who do you like to meet - down on Red River St
Skip the beat on Six St. and take a left by the rails
Head on down
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh just like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change
how it all went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh and I remember something
all went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh and I remember something you once
The ringing of the division bell had begin
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut
There was a ragged band that
let it burn
Got your body on ma mind, can’t get you off ma mind cos the way you let it turn
Just move to the beat, Go down and burn it for me
Kwesi
Down to the tavern to drown in my pain
Staggered back to hell by way of Memory Lane
And I went down
And I went down
Down to the river to watch water
