By the Banks Lyrics by Rorey Carroll

Love Is An Outlaw

0

[Verse 1]
I am looking at serenity
Serenity, won't you wait for me
Two dark eyes on a summer’s day
Thirst for what will wash away
[Verse 2]
Followed the day down into the night
Spirits sail on the pale street light
And on the hill across the town
London Bridge is a-fallin' down
[Chorus]
By the banks, by the banks
Where the water sounds like rain
I will lay my head
On the bed we've made
[Verse 3]
Build it up with wood and clay
Wood and clay will wash away
Iron bows, steel will bend
Tear it down to build it up again
[Verse 4]
And I will break the wall, I’ll feel the rain
And two dark eyes'll build it up again
And I'm stuck lookin' at the stream of light
That fills the air in my lungs tonight
[Chorus]
By the banks, by the banks
Where the water sounds like rain
I will lay my head
On the bed we've made
[Verse 5]
Over the land of silver and gold
People are living to sell their soul
Of anything good, somethin' ain't right
Hangin' around in the air tonight
[Chorus]
By the banks, by the banks
Where the water sounds like rain
I will lay my head
On the bed we’ve made
