Bill's River Blues Lyrics - Singles - Little Feat

Once moved mountains 

Now in the rear view mirror 

Divine compromise has taken root 

Hand held and guided 

To each destination 

Robbed of my powers but not of my mind 

What's left behind is left behind 

The promise in your eyes 

Is what I remember 

Forbidden yet so tempting 

Oh I surrender 

The knock on the door had us 

Jumpin' out of our skins 

I couldn't take it anymore 

What's left behind is left behind

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

There's a light upon the river 

From the new moon in the east 

It shines way down the valley 

And gives me peace 

It's the light and the river 

They give me peace 

The winds that blow 

All around here are constant 

Up from the south they blow warm and strong 

Last year they blew off 

My neighbor's roof 

It's still layin' in that old open field 

What's left behind is left behind 

There's a light upon the river 

From the new moon in the east 

It shines way down the valley 

And gives me peace 

It's the light and the river 

They give me peace

There's a graveyard 

In the mountain 

Covered in snow 

The stones lie there in silence 

Beneath the ground 

Chalk white bones 

The souls circle the sun 

They play with the moon 

Live amongst the stars 

Their reflections on the river 

Are gifts to your heart 

You have those days 

When the truth be told 

S'like rollin' and stumblin' 

Fallin' down a old gopher hole 

Storm overhead lets loose its 

Hail and lightning 

Weathered and worn torn and afraid 

And what's left behind 

Is left behind
