James River Incident Lyrics - Singles - Wynn Steve

By: Steve Wynn 

After 47 days they left well enough alone. The cops and the reporters 

have 

all gone home. All that's left is legends and stories to be told. 

Tired of 

all the questions. Tired of all the calls. Tired of explaining myself 

against the wall. Funny how tragedy brings out the best in everyone. * 

Standing on the shoreline, burning candles in the rain. I don't wanna 

hear 

that garbage anymore. Watching all the flowers as they're rolling down 

the 

James. The dead can rest forevermore if the creek don't rise again. * 

Love 

burns brightest all dressed up in black with summertime just around the 

bend. 

You handle your grief and I'll deal with mine. We'll all get along 

just 

fine. * After 47 days they left well enough alone. The cops and the 

reporters have all gone home. All that's left is legends and stories to 

be 

told. And I know that they're out there. I know they're watching me 

and 

they wait for me to give myself away. But there's just a few secrets 

between 

the river and me.
