Dragging Hooks (river Song Trilogy: Part Iii) Lyrics - Open - Cowboy Junkies

Can't lose the taste of this river mud, 

Black water in my lungs. 

They say you can't step in the same river twice 

Well I've been stepping in this river seems like most my life. 

So sharpen up those dragging hooks 

Tie that sheep shank tight 

Cast into the river boys 

We're dragging for those lost years tonight. 

There's a man whose lost his wife 

Said she'd be home by eight, 

But that was well on three weeks ago 

Now he's walking those banks searching for clues to her fate.

See that girl she's lost her boy 

Flash flood stole him away. 

Now she keeps a vigil on that suspension bridge 

Praying for that river to return him one day. 

So sharpen up those dragging hooks 

Tie that clove hitch tight 

Cast into the river boys 

We're dragging for lost love tonight. 

Can't lose the taste of this river mud 

Black water in my lungs. 

They say even the weariest river in the end will find the sea 

But here among the cat tails all we discuss is breaking free

So sharpen up those dragging hooks 

Tie that sheep shank tight 

Cast into the water boys 

We're dragging for lost souls tonight.
