River Lyrics by Shae Altered

Sleep Talk

2016

[Verse 1]
Oh, take me down, down to the back water
Up the church tower where the demons hide
Down to the green river in a white lace dress
And my hair's a mess, but you won’t get in

[Pre-Chorus]
I was almost lost

[Chorus]
In the eye, of the storm inside
Great beast cry, of this heart of mine

[Verse 2]
Out in the old graveyard filled with lovers' hearts
You took my hand, you gave your soul away
I kept it in box beneath my bed where you rest your head
Just like all of them

[Pre-Chorus]
I was almost lost

[Chorus]
In the eye, of the storm inside
Great beast cry, of this heart of mine

[Bridge]
And when the sun goes down and the moon is out
That's when the claws come out from beneath my nails

[Chorus]
In the eye, of the storm inside
Great beast cry, of this heart of mine
In the eye, of the storm inside
Great beast cry, of this heart of mine
