Cold Dark River

Sky's on fire
It's blazing up into the sun
Shouting red on everyone
But you're blue
Oh, I'm better than I used to be
Finally got up off my knees
I can't save you
Don't let it bring you downstream
You're drinking all of that cold dark river
Oh, love come down on me
Tell my heart to set me free
Oh, love come down on me
Can't shake you
You're there in everything I know
You're staring out from my soul
In every song, in every song I sing
Mountains, mountains
That I should have learned
I'll stand by and watch them burn with you
Don't let it bring you downstream
You're drinking all of that cold dark river
Oh, love come down on me
Tell my heart to set me free
Oh, love come down on me
