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
