Shallow River

(앨범: The Fool In Her Wedding Gown - 2012)

Red sky morning, lovers' warning
Oh I know that the promise you wear, well it ain't for me
Shallow river, shining within her
Flood it all, drown the crops, but just please don't swallow me

Settle down
Settle, settle, settle
Oh dear heart, be still, be still

May the whole sky fall
May it all come down
Waste it all for the title
Waste it all for the crown

Keep your distance, make resistance
Stay the course when you falter and don't you think of me
Glowing ember, growing within her
Burn it all, raze the field, but just please don't swallow me

May the whole sky fall
May it all come down
Waste it all for the truth
For the fool in her wedding gown

Let her leave my sight
Make her leave my mind
Bring it down on my head
If these sins are mine

Call it down on my head
For these sins are mine

Settle down
Settle, settle, settle
Oh dear heart, be still, be still
Let her go
Settle, settle, settle
Oh dear heart, be still, be still

Lovely lady, no one's baby
Keep your chains off the ground and don't you think of me
