Old Cold River 歌词

They drug me down to the old cold river They're gonna throw me in Cuz i've been caught sleeping with the daughter Of the only man in town who can swim I'm facing the old cold river my back against the wind They gon' throw me down to the bottom of the river Never to rise again I sink down, down to the old cold bottom Down, to rest with the fish I sink down, down to the old cold bottom just as the old man wished The sea sleeps and the moon is hanging Something i'd rather do But i'm facing the old cold river Bed of eternal blue With no reason to breathe without the right to love free Sleep in the deep, sink like a drink Until again when we meet I sink down, down to the old cold bottom Without a hope in the clouds Down down to the old cold bottom To rest my bones in the ground They can't save me Nobody can save me They can't save me now They can't save me Nobody can save me if i must live without I'd rather drown Till i rise to the wide open sky Down to the bottom old lonely bottom Till i rise to the wide open sky Leaving this place where love's forbidden Life without her love ain't worth living
