River Of Sorrow - Antony & The Johnsons

There is a black river 
It passes by my window 
And late at night 
All dolled up like Christ 
I walk the water 
Between the piers 

Singing, oh, river of sorrow 
River of time, river 
River of sorrow 

Don´t swallow this time 
For we all know the baby has expired 
Long ago she was pulled from the mire 
And no precious liar or well­wisher 
Can return the love that was stolen 

Oh, river of sorrow 
River of time, river 
River of sorrow 
Don´t swallow this time 

Can you see the light 
At the end of the dark passageway 
Take me wit you towads this light 
Into the darkness 
Passing over the faces in the river 
Hear me! 
I´m whispering in your ear! 

Oh, river of sorrow 
River of time 
River of sorrow 
Don´t swallow this time 

Oh, river of sorrow 
River of time 
River of sorrow 
Don´t swallow this time
