Tanya Donelly - River Girls lyrics

rate me

I caught you down by the river again Down where the river girls lie It's two quiet tearless years it's been And you still can't say goodbye You'd have done better to call a friend You'd have done better to cry This river's gonna run Till the sun in the sky Burns hot enough To boil it dry You keep on following What's running away Then you might as well yourself Just lie down with them Some river girls make their way To the sea Some settle into the bed I caught you down Trying to figure it out When you could have been Calling me instead Come home Leave it alone Lift your pretty face to sun This river's gonna run Till the sun in the sky Burns hot enough To boil it dry You keep on following What's running away Then you might as well yourself Just lie down with them Two quiet tearless years Too quiet
