Antony And The Johnsons - River Of Sorrow Lyrics
There is a black riverIt passes by my windowAnd late at nightAll dolled up like ChristI walk the waterBetween the piersSingingOhRiver of sorrowRiver of time, riverRiver of sorrowDon't swallow this timeFor we all know the baby has expiredLong ago she was pulled from the mireAnd no precious liar or well-wisherCan return the love that was stolenOhRiver of sorrowRiver of time, riverRiver of sorrowDon't swallow this timeCan you see the lightAt the end of the dark passagewayTake me wit you towads this lightInto the darkness passing over the faces in the riverHear me!I'm whispering in your ear!OhRiver of sorrowOh, river of timeRiver of sorrowDon't swallow this timeOhRiver of sorrowOh, river of timeRiver of sorrowDon't swallow this time
