River Daughter Lyrics by Jon Langford

Lost on Land & Sea

2023

Left home three days ago a reported ‘missing mother’
A single late night call was made for a taxi to the long parade
Everyday a different headline, c’mon we all know who’s to blame
Those words they called her, that was not her name
Those words were not her name
Here comes the local paper, here comes the poor girls friend
Here comes the salty sailors tears, rolling in to go out again
Did you talk to the girl in the puffa coat?
A roadside camera saw her pass
The water held her but changed direction way too fast
To stop that endless struggle just one more hill to climb
The river hasn’t given anything but it’s restless and it winds
Yeah it’s restless and it winds
River daughter you can rest here now
Where the north wind blows cold across the town
