The River - Julia Stone
Well the river came to me and it washed us all away
Someone is chasing me and noted where I used to stay
And I feel as I've been here many times before
As I kneel and I pick up the pieces on the floor
And you ask me in a voice that is quiet that is strong:
"Tell me of a place where the living don't belong "
I remember falling to the other side
I remember leaving my body behind
But the river pulled me away
Before I got a chance to say what I say
And under the jacket I did lay
And the Christmas lights they come from nowhere
I had visions often of rivers
No I didn't know their names
I had visions notwithstanding in the heart of it all
And you ask me to tell you:
"Oh what people might we become "
Tell me of the dying we have done
But the river pulled me away
Before I got a chance to say what I say
And under the jacket I did lay
And the Christmas lights they came from nowhere
Oh and under the river I stay
I won't get the chance to say what I say
Under the jacket I will lay
And the Christmas lights they come from nowhere
And the Christmas lights they come from nowhere
And the Christmas lights they come from nowhere
