The River

(album: Wake Up And Say Goodbye - 2008)

I remember that I found you
Just waiting in the dark
Took me to the river where we always fell apart
And we lay amongst the rocks
Naked in the sand
Waiting for the moment that we hoped would never end
And I came to you for comfort
But I never stopped the pain
I remember we were smiling
As our bodies tore away

So take me to the river
I can almost feel it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
And I know that you're screaming
I can barely hear it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
I don't even mind
I don't even mind
I don't even mind

Woke up in the morning
As the lights began to freeze
Tried to stop the current changing of the leaves
Now it's frozen in the spotlight
Burns like the sun
Waiting for the moment that I knew would never come
So I held you close for comfort
But I couldn't stop the pain
Knew that we were dying
As our bodies tore away

So take me to the river
I can almost feel it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
And I know that you're screaming
I can barely hear it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
I don't even mind

There, by the shore, I am raw
I can almost taste it
Hope, like a drug, in the blood
I can feel it coming
Walk, till we fall, till we crawl
I can almost taste it
There in the blood
Like a drug
I can hear it coming

So take me to the river
I can almost feel it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
And I know that you're screaming
I can barely hear it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
[x2]
I don't even mind
I wash away
I wash away
