Lyrics
The River
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.
The trees stood like knives
And claimed us for their own
I'm sold down the river
Before I knew I had enough
Before I knew I'd sink deeper
Than where you'll stop
But I look up
Until I lose the light
Are you reaching out
Stop
I'm lost
In a dark row of trees
In the evening's red
A cold silence
But I look up
Until I lose the light
Are you reaching out
Stop
