River Lyrics - Red House Painters

I know you're willing and able 

There by the wooden table 

Won't you come on over to my side? 

And you know I'll treat you right 

There at the water 

There is the water you drink 

Won't you come on over to my side? 

And you can drink from my 

Down through the dirt you lead us 

Across the sand you'll disappear 

Will you come back? I feel you won't need us 

I feel you won't miss us will you come back? 

Back in the summer I fell into your space 

With an understanding when I just looked in your face 

There at the water, you wash your skin 

Sleep on the violets until you're covered in dust again 

I know you're hungry and tired 

All alone by the fire 

Won't you come, come on over to my side? 

And you know 

Down through the dirt you lead us 

One kiss before you leave, will you come back? 

And sleep tonight beside me? 

The morning comes I feel alive, will you come back? 

And two yellow eyes remember souls of ancient lies 

And she sees them dance and hears them moan and cry 

And two yellow eyes reveal warmth and love inside 

And she wears her mask, pulls on her gloves 

And two yellow eyes remember souls of ancient lies 

And she sees them dance and hears them moan and cry 

And two yellow eyes reveal her warmth and love inside 

And she wears her mask, pulls on her glove
