"River" lyrics

"River"

Here we go
A-one, two, three, two

I remember, I took my first steps right over there
Mid September, smell of burning leaves in the air
We were strugglin', trouble was in reach
Like one of us had one minute of sleep

The light was heavy, I just can't explain
I heard the buzz by the lake from the little prop plane
Through the narrows, arrow to the heart
September fell black and family fell apart

The river can't even run 'round anymore
It can't do the things for you that it did before

Alone in the rain, all night I've been a-runnin'
It's always the same, I can hear someone comin'
They can put me in chains, but I ain't use to their reins
Only way to explain, got that river in the veins

The river can't even run 'round anymore
It can't do the things for you that it did before
The river can't even run 'round anymore
It can't do the things for you that it did before
