No walls, can keep me protected. No sleep, nothing in between me and the rain. And you can't save me now. I'm in the grip of a hurricane. I'm going to blow myself away.
If you could only see the beast you've made of me. I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free. Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart.
I was a heavy heart to carry. My beloved was weighed down. My arms around his neck. My fingers laced a crown. . I was a heavy heart to carry. My feet dragged across the ground.
Oh, the river, oh, the river, it's running free. & all joy, all the joy it brings to me. But I know it'll have to drown me. Before it can breathe easy.
