Shallow River -

Red sky morning, lovers warning

Oh I know that promise you wear, well it ain’t for me

Shallow river, shining within her

Flood it all, drown the crops, but just please don’t swallow me

Settle down

Settle, settle, settle

Hold your heart, be still, be still

May the whole sky fall

May it all come down

Wasted all for the title

Wasted all for the crown

Keep your distance, make resistance

Stay the course when you falter and don’t you think of me

Glowing ember, growing within her

Burn it all, raze the field, but just please don’t swallow me

May the whole sky fall

May it all come down

Wasted all for the truth

For the fool in her wedding gown

Let her leave my sight

Make her leave my mind

Bring it down on my head

If these sins are mine

Call it down on my head

For these sins are mine

Settle down

Settle, settle, settle

Hold your heart, be still, be still

Let her go

Settle, settle, settle

Hold your heart, be still, be still

Lovely lady, no one’s baby

Keep your chains off the ground and don’t you think of me
