And Lord
The fingers all point at me
What is it that they wanna see
I try to find my way below
But the river's coming down on me
And Lord
Can't you just let me go
Even if they're all in woe
Or tell them that I can't be found
Cause the river's coming down on me
And no
It didn't go the way they said
In fact it wasn't even great
And with her blood running from my palms
I let the river bring her home
And Lord
Can't you find a way to see
I really just set her free
And now she's waiting down below
Hear the river's coming down on me
The voices are fading out
The silence in her eyes
Oh, in trembling waters
The river's lullaby
Fighting, fighting for her life
And Lord
I lit a match and let it be
Like the flames would just set me free
And now I'm standing in the fire
While the roof is coming down on me
And Lord
I didn't know that they were there
The flame wasn't meant to share
But now we're standing in the pyre
While all hell is coming down on me
Voices are fading out
The silence in her eyes
Oh, in trembling waters
The river's lullaby
Fighting, fighting for her life
The fists are tied
They can see the fire
Once again
Water rise
There's no more lies
This is the end
Hang them high
It's he Death and I
Once again
Water rise
There is no more lies
Came from the shadows
Came in the night
I'm gonna have what is mine
Your final tears
Will fill your eyes
Cause this is goodbye
Came from the shadows
Came in the night
I'm gonna have what is mine
A grim wide smile
It's you and I
And yes, this is goodbye
So come on over now
So come on over now
Oh, hear the river cry
So come on over now
So come on over now
Oh, hear the lullaby
Oh, hear the river cry
Oh, hear the lullaby
