Lauren Lucas - Riverstone lyrics

rate me

She went down to the water's edge

Just as the sun was fallin' down

Unzipped her Sunday dress

And watched it hit the ground.

Whiskey bottle in her right hand

And a bible in her left

Hoping either one might help her

To live with herself.

She said...

Come save me, come save me

Wash away my sins,

I just couldn't let him do

What he did, to me again.

I might sink straight down to the bottom

I might make it to the other side,

Oh, Lord please, send angels if you got 'em

I'm skippin' like a riverstone

Where I land is still unknown...

She shook the hand of the preacher

Standin' outside of the church

He said the part about livin' with the devil

Really spoke to her.

Walkin' by at half past one

When she walked through the door,

The church bells were ringin' out

When his body hit the floor

She said...

Forgive me, forgive me

For what I've done wrong

But he had his way

And made me pay, for way too long.

I might sink, straight down to the bottom

I might make it to the other side

Oh, Lord please, send angels if you got 'em

I'm skippin' like a riverstone

Where I land is still unknown...

I might sink, straight down to the bottom,

I might make it to the other side...

Oh, Lord please, send angels if you got 'em

I'm skippin' like a riverstone

Where I land is still unknown...

I'm skippin' like a riverstone,

And I'm leavin' tonight

I'll be gone.

I'll be gone,

Yeah...
