River Song One

I watched the water roll in off the river

And said "My dear we're in for it now"

You said "Lay your head down

Next to mine on the ground

And if the lord doesn't save us we'll drown"

So we both lay there shaking

Our hands in the river

Saying "I'm sure we were born

Just to die"

But when the water rushed in

I gave in to my sins

And found my own way to higher ground

Where I watched as the water

Took hold of your body

From high on my hill of retreat

You smiled up at me

Amongst the bodies and trees

I didn't sleep for a week after that

Finally the river let go of your body

And my mind drifted off into sleep

But your eyes came to me

Disguised as the sea

Saying "I can't forgive you for this"

Please darling, please

You're much stronger than me

And I've tried all my days to believe

You said "Don't come around

The next time you get down

Looking to me for release"
