Drag This River Lyrics - Walkabouts

Quick, burn it down to the wick 

Burn it down to the heart 

So the ending can start 

Here, behind the riverhaus door 

With an unloaded gun 

And an unsettled score 

Well I'll never drag this river 

I'll never drag this river X2 

I'll never drag this river down 

You, nothin' comes to you slow 

Nothin' comes to you hard 

Though you beg like you're hard 

And me, don't shake the barrel ar me 

And don't treat idle threats 

Like you treat all your friends 

Well I'll never drag this river 

I'll never drag this river X2 

I'll never drag this river down 

And if you walk out that door 

Don't come back 

Because there'll be no door 

And if you walk out that door 

Silence greets you 

Silence, will be yours 

I hear ya callin' from a long distant shore 

But you won't come back, [well / 'cause] you can't come back 

The water's risin' and the levee is not sure 

And you won't be found, no you can't be found 

Drag this river down
