Let The River In

歌詞

You, beneath the bed, I know all your tricks I've seen you watching I've seen you drifting away I've seen you floating along I've seen you disappear Now, there ain't a cloud in sight And through the snow and the branches I can count all your teeth Yeah I can count all your teeth Now the bed's on fire and the ceiling's gone And your mom and dad still sing the same old song Don't scare me off now, I'm your only friend Don't scare me off now, I'm your only friend But now you're drifting away Now you're floating along And soon you'll disappear I closed my eyes and saw my father's sins They covered me like a second skin I peeled them off, and sure I bled a bit But now I'm free to sink my own damn ship I cut my branch down from my family tree To start a fire in the living room Now the house is just ash, this time it's sink or swim Let the river in If blood is thicker than water Then let the river in We might drift a ways, but we've got thick skin Let the river in If blood is thicker than water Then let the river in We might drift a ways, but we'll find our way again
