"It All Fell In The River" lyrics

"It All Fell In The River"
(Live at Carnegie Hall)

In the chamberhead weather
I came with my stones
I came hanging a feather
In between my bones
It all fell in the river
And I came home
It all fell in the river
And that's why I came home

I had your rib on my shoulder
Beside your death on the shelf
It all fell in the river
And it sank like little bells, little bells
And now all I have left
I have to all to myself
All I have left
I have to all to myself

It all fell in the river
And I didn't, ooh, then
But I'm ooh-ing now
'Cause I'm remembering and I'm red
I'm remembering when what fell in the river
Once fell on my head
Yeah, what fell in the river
Once fell out of the sky and onto my poor head

It all fell in the river
And very easily passed
And what didn't fall in the river
I abandoned on the grass
It all fell in the river
And the tears fell at last
It all fell in the river
And the tears fell at last
The tears fell at last
