River Song

[Verse 1]

The rain shuffled in on a wind from the east

Equally falling on man and beast

Where you're sat between a rock and a wounded tree

And 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

[Chorus]

You should go down to the riverside

Where the fishes in shadows glide

Stay and rest your weary limbs

On the edge of where the end begins

You should go down to the rivers turn

Where the secrets in shadows burn

Your scars were never hard to earn

And you still got a lot to learn

[Verse 2]

You keep reliving that spark and crack

Tearing at your brain like a heart attack

And there's no cure for a Macbeth hand

And the pounding in your ears like a marching band

That boy lying on the blasted grass

Red wrapped round like a scarlet scarf

And the jokes on him so why's hard to laugh?

'Cause it's nothing that he didn't deserve

Nobody else around made the car swerve

Showing his face around here, he had nerve

White out lines still ghost on the curb

Brand new black hole so deep it's absurd

[Pre-Chorus]

I know you miss her

I know you miss her, miss her

I know you miss her

[Chorus]

You should go down to the riverside

Where the fishes in shadows glide

Stay and rest your weary limbs

On the edge of where the end begins

You should go down to the rivers turn

Where the secrets in shadows burn

Your scars were never hard to earn

And you've still got a lot to learn

[Verse 3]

24 nights in McCarthy's landscape

Staring down a barrel of a demons handshake

And crossing crossroads on lost roads and off world

Scanning star maps for the eyes of a lost girl

You can't stay her 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

Should find a phone and call your mother

She told me she's 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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

You should go down to the riverside

Where the fishes in shadows glide

Stay and rest your weary limbs

On the edge of where the end begins

You should go down to the rivers turn

Where the secrets in shadows burn

Your scars were never hard to earn

And you've still got a lot to learn
