lyrics

She’s a heavy wounded river
Her banks all crumble, her spine it shivers
Lately I can’t find a way
To navigate her bramble veins

A trickle is her ebb and flow
More power lies in the ground below
But only brackish water now
Oh just one drop will send her down
Oh just one drop will send her down

If I hold you, if I told you
It would be alright
I got you

Remember when our words belonged
To a child’s heart to a river song
A tempest’s seed is buried deep
with a silent deadly killer creep

Reflection in the water black
She sees a monster grinning, staring back
He beckons her to come right in
straight down to the bottom never surface again X8

And if I hold you, if I told you
it would be alright
the more I know you
the more I love you
and we’ll get stronger all the time

I got you
I got you
