Lyrics
Louder Than The Sound
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I stood on a cliff looking over the river
I watched that ship sinking just like the Sun
You could hear the silence after the thunder louder than the sound
And I felt myself losing my mind as I watched
The man that I love slowly drown
Oh wide Mississippi you’re muddy and mean
The heart that you took, it was wild, it was mine
When he’d cast the dice at the tables, his blood it would sing
And he told me that when he’d win a hand
He’d save some of it to buy me a ring
Oh I curse you with all the fire in my blood
I curse you standing here in lightning and rain
You could hear the silence after the thunder louder than the sound
And I felt myself losing my mind as I watched
The man that I love slowly drown
