Waifs - The Rive lyrics
rate mei stood and watched my daddy die<br />
no-one could help his plight<br />
<br />
cos he was trying to save our home<br />
on the day that the river river rose<br />
<br />
well it came alive I heard them say<br />
there was nothing we can do <br />
as he washed away<br />
<br />
running from the heart of it<br />
right into the cause of it<br />
running from the heart of it<br />
<br />
i'm a man now<br />
but I'm only 7<br />
well its been hard <br />
since daddy went to heaven<br />
<br />
We're stayin' now my mumma said<br />
and he worked his land<br />
his life was spent<br />
running from the heart of it<br />
right into the cause of it<br />
running from the heart of it<br />
right into the cause of it<br />
running from the heart of it<br />
right into the cause of it<br />
running from heart<br />
<br />
hey why don'tyou follow me late at night<br />
we'll go down down to the river where the moon is bright<br />
and we can wash our sorrow down<br />
underneath that shining brown<br />
<br />
we'll be<br />
sitting in the still night air<br />
can't you feel our daddy there?<br />
<br />
life and death and all this power<br />
underneath these these shining stars<br />
<br />
running from the heart of it<br />
right into the cause of it<br />
running from the heart of it<br />
right into the cause of it<br />
running from the heart of it<br />
right into the cause of it<br />
running from heart, heart, heart<br />
<br />
you give us strength, while we talk
