Black River - Lera Lynn & Shovels & Rope

When the last rose of summer pricks my finger And the hot sun chills me to the bone When I can't hear the song for the singer And I can't tell my pillow from a stone I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain And the stars start to splatter in the sky When the moon splits the southwest horizon With the scream of an eagle on the fly I will walk alone by the black muddy river And listen to the ripples as they moan I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own Black muddy river, roll on forever I don't care how deep or wide if you've got another side Roll muddy river, roll muddy river Black muddy river, roll Black muddy river, roll on forever I don't care how deep or wide if you've got another side Roll muddy river, roll muddy river Black muddy river, roll When it seems like the night will last forever And there's nothing left to do but count the years When the strings of my heart start to sever And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears I will walk alone by the black muddy river And dream me a dream of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own And sing me a song of my own

It's late Too late to run Besides, this night ain't the one You could say I turned my eyes blind You could say I'm the desperate kind I've been watching the line But nothing's passin' by I've been keeping the time Like by it I live and die 'Cause at the end of the road There is just one way to know Drive Drive Portrait made but Overblown The curtain pulled was crooked stone Leave me to lie in my fruitless dreams It's not as simple as it seems I've been watching the line But nothing's passin' by I've been keeping the time Like by it I live and die 'Cause at the end of the road There is just one way to know Drive Drive Drive Drive I've been watching the line But nothing's passin' by I've been keeping the time Like by it I live and die 'Cause at the end of the road There is just one way to know Drive Drive Drive Drive Drive It's too late, too late, too late to run Drive And I'm the desperate one Drive...

Drivin' in my car I turn on the radio I'm pullin' you close You just say no You say you don't like it But, girl, I know you're a liar 'Cause when we kiss Oh, fire Late at night I'm takin' you home I say I wanna stay You say you wanna be alone You say you don't love me But you can't hide your desire 'Cause when we kiss Oh, fire Fire You had a hold on me right from the start A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart Nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool Your kisses, they burn But your heart stays cool Romeo and Juliet Samson and Deliliah You can bet, their love, they didn't deny Your words say split But your words, they lie 'Cause when we kiss Oh, fire Oh, fire You had a hold on me right from the start A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart Nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool Well, your kisses, they burn But your heart stays cool Romeo and Juliet Samson and Deliliah You can bet, their love, they couldn't deny Your words say split But your words, they lie 'Cause when we kiss Oh, fire Fire Fire Oh, fire Oh, fiiiire
