Water Runs Red

(albüm: Coming Down The Mountain - 2017)

This house is a temple
Sanctified and simple
And the chimney leaks in the winter
Like a mother's lost her head
And the water runs red
The water runs red

I went to the doctor
Said there's red in the water
He looked down on my daughter
Said a darkness tends to spread
And the water runs red
The water runs red

We work for our children
Feed their hearts till we fill 'em
But it's love that'll kill 'em
Having spun 'em out of thread
And the water runs red
The water runs red

Toil and trouble
Will you make a bed of rubble
When the sky falls on the tunnels
You been digging through your dread
And the water runs red
The water runs red

I went to the station
They said, darling what's the occasion?
I said, lies are what you make 'em
And you will never eat my bread
And the water runs red
The water runs red
