River - Red House Painters

I know you’re willing and able

There by the wooden table

Won’t you come on over to my side?

And you know I’ll treat you right

There at the water

There is the water you drink

Won’t you come on over to my side?

And you can drink from my…

Down through the dirt you lead us

Across the sand you’ll disappear

Will you come back?

I feel you won’t need us

I feel you won’t miss us

Will you come back?

Back in the summer

I fell into your space

With an understanding

When I just looked in your face

There at the water

You wash your skin

Sleep on the violets

Until you’re covered in dust again

I know you’re hungry and tired

All alone by the fire

Won’t you come, come on over to my side?

And you know…

Down through the dirt you lead us

One kiss before you leave

Will you come back?

And sleep tonight beside me?

The morning comes I feel alive

Will you come back?

And two yellow eyes remember

Souls of ancient lies

And she sees them dance and hears them moan and cry

And two yellow eyes reveal

Warmth and love inside

And she wears her mask

Pulls on her gloves

And two yellow eyes remember

Souls of ancient lies

And she sees them dance and hears them moan and cry

And two yellow eyes reveal her

Warmth and love inside

And she wears her mask

Pulls on her glove
