River of Sorrow Lyrics

River of Sorrow
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 well-wisher Can return the love that was stolen
Oh River of sorrow River of time, river [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/river-of-sorrow-lyrics-antony-and-the-johnsons.html ] 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 Oh, river of time River of sorrow Don't swallow this time
Oh River of sorrow Oh, river of time River of sorrow Don't swallow this time
