River on the Rise (feat. Reza Dinally)

Seen my father work upon these fields Seen my mother beneath the Memphis sun She caught the rain in a barrel on the porch We left her body beneath the dogwood tree In a storm that swallowed day and night Streets of water kept falling from the sky It filled the delta and washed away the grain I lost my love my sweet Lorraine With nothing left to loose these Days (nothing left to loose these days) I'm moving north towards the city (moving north) Where the dust winds blow And the danger's been cemented down I found a job by the south end of the river Worked all day and drunk through most the nights I danced with saints with heroes and with beggars Countless people but no one seems to care With nothing left to loose these Days (nothing left to loose these days) I've lost my love and my sweet home (lost my home and my sweet love) I'm moving north towards the city (moving north) Where the dust winds blow And the danger's been cemented down
