The Sunken Lands Lyrics - The River & The Thread - Rosanne Cash

Five cans of paint in the empty fields 

The dust reveals 

The children cry, the work never ends 

There's not a single friend 

Who will hold her hand in the sunken lands? 

The mud and tears melt the cotton balls 

It's a heavy toll 

Oh oh 

His words are cruel and they sting like fire 

Like the devil's choir 

Oh oh 

But who will hold her hand in the sunken lands? 

The river rises and she sails away 

But she could never stay 

Oh oh
