Drown Me in the River Lyrics by Mother Falcon

Alhambra

2011

[Intro]
I dream of wastin' away
Like those good-old sweet, summer Sundays
When we still were fragile and young
With our hearts full of dreams and our heads full of sun
[Verse 1]
Swingin' our arms in the nighttime blues
Sinkin' our fingers in the sea held cool
Find me fallin' with my eyes wide open
Drifting in your absence, not afraid of choking
[Chorus]
And I, and I, and I
And you, and you, and you
I do, I do, I do
Trace me back to you
[Post-Chorus]
Find my eyes tied between my shoes
Looking for those old steps that lead me back to you
To you, to you
[Verse 2]
Breathing softly down the nape of my neck
Burning me slowly while I wait for you to set
My face painted white like my ancestor's kite
Pendulums swinging from the morning through the night
[Chorus]
And I, and I, and I
And you, and you, and you
I do, I do, I do
Trace me back to you
[Bridge]
If your hand is true
(Drown me in the river)
If your hand is true
(Drown me in the river)
If your hand is true
(Drown me in the river)
If your hand is true
Drown me in the river!
[Outro]
Ba-ba-da-ah-ah-ah-ba-da-ah-ah
Ba-ba-da-ah-ah-ah-ba-da-ah-ah
Ba-ba-da-ah-ah-ah-ba-da-ah-ah
