Red Sky Mary - River Child Lyrics
You escaped the morningAnd left your homeAnd went down the riverWhere shadows roamYou can hear them callingAs you close your eyesAnd drift off down the riverBreathe and say goodbye(CHORUS)Down the river childYou’re gonna find a friendWho will take what you want and need?And lead you to the endFloat down the river childAnd you will be condemnedIt takes what you want to beYou bleed temptationAnd turn the river redAnd now you’re drowning reasonThe demons in your headIt leaves you suffocatingIt will pull you downAnd you can taste the waterAs they watch you drown(CHORUS)And leads you to the endHis breath is shortAnd his mouth dryHis pupil’s are smallLost within lifeless eyesThe spoons are all burnedAnd his shoelaces bareAnd with the needles kissHis face a blank stareHe has lost his willHe has grown so I'llNow the tide washes him away, oh yeahHe cannot healNo he cannot feelThe hunter becomes the preyThe sun is shining through the treesThe water’s risen to his kneesAnd now it has him, he cannot breatheNo he can’t, no her can’tIt takes him under it drags him downAnd he’s forgotten, forgottenWithout a sound(CHORUS)And leads you to the endOh yeah babyOh yeahBreathe and say goodbye
