River Song

The rain shuffled in on a wind from the east Equally falling on man and beast Where you sat between a rock and a wounded tree And a sorrow maybe fifty fathoms deep In gods purpose do you dwell Or did you hang your colours on the gates of hell Tears running clearer than a morning bell That I know never rang for you Go down to the river side Where the fishes in shadow's glide Stay and rest your weary limbs On the edge of where the end begins Go down to the river's turn Where the secrets in shadows burn Your scars were never hard to earn And you've still got a lot to learn You keep reliving that spark and crack Tearing at your brain like a shark attack And there's no cure for a Macbeth hand And the pounding in your ears like a marching band and That boy lying on the blasted grass Red wrapped round like a scarlet scarf Jokes on him so why's it hard to laugh? Cos it's nothing that he didn't deserve Nobody else around made the car swerve Showing his face around here he had nerve White outline still ghost on the curb Brand new black hole so deep it's absurd I know you miss her I know you miss her Miss her I know you miss her (Ooooh) Go down to the river side Where the fishes in shadow's glide Stay and rest your weary limbs On the edge of where the end begins Go down to the river's turn Where the secrets in shadows burn Your scars were never hard to earn But you've still got a lot to learn Twenty four nights in McCarthy's landscape Staring down the barrel of a demons handshake Crossing crossroads on lost roads on off-worlds Scanning star maps for the eyes of a lost girl You can't stay here much longer In the back of the Honda Another back of beyonder Too sad, too somber Feeling like hope's a goner But I don't wanna leave you neither Digging up the seeds of the fever You need to find a phone and call your mother She told me she'd not sleeping either And nobody back home believes that what you did was right But who could be too quick to blame If they'd been in the same position you were They'd have all done the same Done the same, done the same, yeah I know you miss her I know you miss her Miss her I know you miss her I know you miss her Miss her I know you miss her I know you miss her Miss her I know you miss her I know you miss her Miss her Go down to the river side Where the fishes in shadow's glide Stay and rest your weary limbs On the edge of where the end begins Go down to the river's turn Where the secrets in shadows burn Your scars were never hard to earn And you've still got a lot to learn
