American Waters Lyrics by Raynes

’49

2024

So I led a little white lamb to the slaughter
I still wonder why you followed me
I can’t promise you’ll be safe

I’m told they’re finding gold
In American waters
If I don’t join the rush
Then both of us
Have to live with my mistakes

Nowhere near as free
As we could be

Let me go
My love
We keep saying someday
And that’s hardly enough
Don’t you know
My love?
Eventually rivers run dry
So if I’m gonna die
I’ll die trying
Oh

I don’t wanna live on a prayer for much longer
We need something real to stand on
Wе need something we can hold

How can I follow
Every rainbow?

Lеt me go
My love
We keep saying someday
And that’s hardly enough
Don’t you know
My love?
Eventually rivers run dry
So if I’m gonna die
I’ll die trying
Oh

Oh, my love
Is this what I killed for?
A few handfuls of dust?

Don’t you know
My love?
I’ll wonder as long as I live
If you can forgive me for trying
Oh
