lyrics

Singing in the river,
in the river for so long
singing in the river,
in the river for so long
that the birds fly by above me
& they don't come back to hear my song

When my baby left me,
i went down to get her back
when my baby left me,
i went down to get her back
but i came back up without her
& then all i was was cold & black

I wasn't drinking
but the party carried on
i wasn't drinking
but the party carried on
and they threw me in the water
tore my body til it all was gone

you should never look behind you,
you're not to see what's coming up
you should never look behind you,
you're not to see what's coming up
if i'd never looked behind me
i think i could still believe in luck
if i'd never looked behind me
i think i could still believe in luck

So i'm drifting here forever
& the riverbank goes by
drifting here forever,
& the riverbank goes by

but my head just keeps on singing
& it still can make the mountains cry
but my head just keeps on singing
& it still can make the mountains cry
but my head just keeps on singing
& it still can make the mountains
cry
.
