The River Lyrics by Jesco (NL)

Bored or Sad

2021

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, piss drunk in my bed
And I hear the evil noises in my head
Teeth will gnash, and bones will break
Love’s for fools, and kindness’s fake
It’s these hissing words that I hear every day
[Pre-Chorus]
Now please don’t come with me
And please just let me be
Let me float ‘round and ‘round
Into the current I’m bound
[Verse 2]
There’s an evil I can never seem to shake
Tried to get baptised in the sea and in a lake
But those waters cold and clear could never rinse my fear
That nothing in this world could hold me dear
[Pre-Chorus]
Now please don’t come with me
And please just let me be
Let me float ‘round and ‘round
Into the current I’m bound
[Chorus]
Rock slow steady on
Like the river’s rolling on
Rock slow steady on
Let the water carry on
Rock slow steady on
Like the river’s rolling on
Rock slow steady on
Let the water carry
[Verse 3]
At the break of day I let go of my tears
And the river whispers sweetly in my ears
You don’t have to go away, with me you can now stay
In my rocking arms I’ll always keep you safe
[Pre-Chorus]
That’s when I got embraced
By all the mud and waste
In waters cold and brown
A little warmth was found
[Instrumental outro]
