"Soul River" lyrics

"Soul River"

Oh my friend, we'd stay up till light
Whisky and rye
Go all-in on the red and lay a bet on the 345
Oh, I still remember the night you drew a line
Smoked your last cigarette then you left with an Irish goodbye

Soul river, river don't ever run dry
Carry me where you sweetly whisper
Soul river, carry me home tonight
I'll carry you home, my true love whispers

Low, stuck between anger and pride, she arrived
You confessed you were blessed with the one good thing left in your life
Go, stay with her through the long night, one more time
Don't forget you both bled
And while you slept she'd wipe tears from your eyes

Soul river, river don't ever run dry
Carry me where you sweetly whisper
Soul river, carry me home tonight
I'll carry you home, my true love whispers

And I know I should have spotted the signs, well never mind
We'll burn the oils with the boys and get high
Yeah just like good old times
Oh I'll never leave you behind, out of my mind
I know we'll meet again round the bend, somewhere way down the line

Sweet soul river, river don't ever run dry
Carry me where you sweetly whisper
Soul river, carry me home tonight
I'll carry you home, my true love whispers
Soul river, river don't ever run dry
I'll carry you home, my true love whispers
