The River Lyrics - The Sound Of White - Missy Higgins

She ran until her face was numb with cold 

And wore a cotton gown that blazed the night untold 

She ran until her feet refused to hold 

So heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old 

And when she reached the river her knees began to shiver 

Her head with pounding voices from home 

Behind her was a vision, a painful apparition 

Of a darker world that no one should know 

Somebody's bed will never be warm again 

The river will keep this friend 

The somebody's bed will never be warm again 

No never again

She dived beneath the water's icy skin 

Hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin 

And her eyes grew wider than they'd ever been 

Just wishing the numbness to cut deeper with its pins 

And as her body lay there she decided to stay there 

Till darkness came to pull her away 

And beautifully she sank as up river was the bank 

Where some bodiless troubles would stay 

Somebody's bed will never be warm again 

The river will keep this friend 

Somebody's bed will never be warm again 

No never again
