Black River
Black River
You gonna move up river keep your vampire friends
Holding court until the bitter end
How’s it to fall short and fade away?
To stick with your excuses til your dying day
And that’s as far as you ever gonna get
Gonna move up river with your ghosts and your pain
Same ol’ small town no chorus no refrain
I’m in the flat pan and I’m praying for rain
Praying that I never ever see you again
Black river gonna rise and rise and wash you away
I will leave you stranded til your dying day
I ain’t comin back no matter what you say
Black river gonna rise and rise and wash you away
Wash you away ohhh oh
SOLO
Hope your old man he ain’t drinkin’ too much
Lost in the black stars and cold to your touch
All of your half dreams are taking their toll
A little voice a shoutin’ deep on down in your soul
CHORUS
