Brown River Lyrics by Junior Brother

Sleeping at the Bottom of the Sea

2013

[Verse 1]
I dug out my final coppers like a rat scavenges corpses
To throw down the wishing well, to the dank bottom it fell
I cannot recollect what my mind was perched or standing upon
But some thing squeezed through my lips
Letters I could not resist
[Chorus 1]
O am I such a lowly hand
To, in the rain, have horses stand
The breeze brought with it heather scent
The brown river flows o'er my head
Brown river flow over my head
[Verse 2]
(The) bumblebees are losing their
Tails and scatter quickly 'fore their nights
Have them sleep upon thе waves, have them sleep in circlеs
(And) her chambers are soft and warm, and I will see them f'revermore
In a shade of blurry brown, in a leg-limbed brevity
[Chorus 2]
And now the limp clouds turn away
Here I stand, I am not afraid
Just as the prophecies said
The brown river flows o'er my head
Brown river flow over my head
