Don't Drag The River Lyrics - Singles - Iommi

There is a place on the wrong side of town 

It's a curse whenever I go 

And I have to forget that the thoughts in my head 

Let me down, I want you to know 

Now I don't know ya but you are my jailer 

I've been sentenced by the jury below 

Now it scares me to death 

And I just cannot let, this cage they put over me 

Don't drag the river 

I hear the voices on the ground 

Don't drag the river 

I go to sleep without a sound 

You can turn out the daylight, I'll be gone in the morning 

You can try to burn down the sun 

I gotta make you believe that I did not deceive 

No, I did not hurt anyone 

You can make me slave, you can make me a number 

But I'm not the one who lied 

'Cause they threw away the key and it just cannot be 

In this cage that they put over me 

Don't drag the river 

I hear the voices on the ground 

Don't drag the river 

I go to sleep without a sound 

I'm in a state of madness, I panic in my head 

They're gonna pull me under, no matter, what I said 

I taste the fear inside me, I'm gonna break my vow 

And now the hound is callin', it's gonna take me down 

Taste the fear inside me, I'm gonna break my vow 

And now the hound is callin', take me down 

I hear the voices on the ground 

I go to sleep without a sound 

River 

I hear the voices on the ground 

Don't drag the river 

I go to sleep without a sound 

Don't drag the river 

I hear the voices 

Don't drag the river 

I go to sleep without a sigh 

Don't drag the river 

Don't drag the river 

Don't drag the river 

There's only my love for you 

Don't drag the river 

There's only my heart for you 

Don't drag the river 

There's only my love for you, oh
