River of Sorrow

River of Sorrow -Antony &The Johnsons
There is a black river
It passes by my window
Oh late at night
All dolled up like christ
I walk the water
Between the piers
Singing
Oh
River of sorrow
River of time river
River of sorrow
Dont swallow this time
For we all know the baby has expired
Long ago she was pulled from the mire
And no precious liar or well wisher
Can return the love that was stolen
Oh
River of sorrow
River of time
River of sorrow
Dont swallow this time
Can you see the light
At the end of the dark passageway
Take me with you towads this light
Into the darkness passing over the faces in the river
Hear me
Im whispering in your ear
Oh
River of sorrow
River of time
River of sorrow
Dont swallow this time
Oh
River of sorrow
River of time
River of sorrow
Dont swallow this time
