كلمات River

Walking by the river, whole way home Put together, summer clothes Singing loud enough to wake the dead Out of tune and out of breath And my head on the wrong way round Every careless word, I take it back My tongue was loose, my tongue was slack At 10 to 3 I tried to plead My voice got lost in the insistent beat Left incomplete Persist with me, eventually I'll come good We used to talk, you used to have me round I used to sing for you But now it's not the same, I sing quietly again You shrink my world into a fist You stay mad and I'll stay pissed And I'll stay here Every careless word, I take it back My tongue was loose, my tongue was slack At 10 to 3 I try to plead My voice got lost in the insistent beat Left incomplete Persist with me, eventually I'll come good You should clasp your hands and pray You brought the pain If you love me lightly, I'd love you the same In time Walking by the river, whole way home Put together, summer clothes Singing loud enough to wake the dead Not enough now that you've left My head on the wrong way round You should clasp your hands and pray You brought the pain If you love me lightly, I'd love you the same (O the sky could fall tonight on south street)
