Missy Higgins - The River Lyrics
The RiverShe ran until her face was numb with cold andwore a cotton gown that blazed the night untold.She ran until her feet refused to holdso heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old.And when she reached the river her knees began to shiver,her head with pounding voices from home.Behind her was a vision, a painful apparitionof a darker world that no-one should know.Somebody's bed will never be warm again,the river will keep this friend.Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again,no never again.She dived beneath the water's icy skin,hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin,and her eyes grew wider than they'd ever beenjust wishing the numbness to cut deeper with its pins.And as her body lay there she decided to stay theretill darkness came to pull her away.And beautifully she sank as up river was the bankwhere some bodiless troubles would stay.Somebody's bed will never be warm again,the river will keep this friend.Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again,no never again.Somebody's bed will never be warm again,the river will keep this friend.Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again,no never again.
