Faye had mentioned in an interview that this song is from an old poem she had written when she was 14 and found amongst her things years later. Though the poem was only the first two lines of the first verse but that’s what initiated the band’s collaborate effort on this song.
My Love Took Me Down to the River to Silence Me Lyrics
[Intro-Live Acoustic]
Know your place among the dark arms of the woods
They're all laced with love I never understood
There, there is a heart in here
Where, where is the heart in here?
[Intro]
Down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me (3x)
[Verse 1]
My love took me down to the river to silence me
And when he left, I could not speak
I lay on the ground, I tried to scream
But no sound did come out, I could only bleed blue
I waited for him 'til the frost did come
My skin, it turned blue, and my body was numb
But my heart, it burned out 'til it was no more
Still I wait on the ground, I don't know what for
[Chorus]
There, there is a heart in here
Where, where is the heart in here?
This love's killing me, but I want it to
So long you're gone, just like I always knew
But I'm still here waiting for you
Here waiting for you
[Verse 2]
My love took me down to the river to silence me
And when he left I could not speak
What he said to me I can never say
Because it's breaking my heart to this very day
[Chorus]
[Intro Refrain]
[Chorus]
Here waiting for you
Here waiting for you
