"Don't Drag The River" lyrics

There's a place on the wrong side of town
It's a curse whenever I go
And I have to forget that the thoughts in my head
Let me down, I want you to know
Now, I don't know ya, but you are my jailer
I've been sentenced by the jury below
Now, it scares me to death and I just cannot let
This cage that they put over me

(Don't drag the river)
I hear the voices on the ground
(Don't drag the river)
I go to sleep without a sound

Can you turn out the daylight? I'll be gone in the morning
Can you try to burn down the sun?
I gotta make you believe that I did not deceive
No, I did not hurt anyone
You can make me a slave, you can make me a number
But I'm not the one who lied
'Cause they threw away the key and I just cannot be
In this cage that they put over me

(Don't drag the river)
I hear the voices on the ground
(Don't drag the river)
And I go to sleep without a sound

I'm in a state of madness, I panic in my head
They're gonna pull me under no matter what I said
I taste the fear inside me, I'm gonna break my vow
And now the hound is callin', it's gonna take me down

Taste the fear inside me, I'm gonna break my vow
And now the hound is callin', take me down
I hear the voices on the ground
I go to sleep without a sound

(River)
I hear the voices on the ground
(Don't drag the river)
I go to sleep without a sound
(Don't drag the river)
I hear the voices
(Don't drag the river)
I go to sleep without a sound

Don't drag the river
Don't drag the river
Don't drag the river
There's only my love for you
Don't drag the river
There's only my heart for you
Don't drag the river
There's only my love for you
Oh, river's waiting
