Rainey Qualley - Dead and Gone lyrics

When I rose from the dust of my fathers The whole world was a cage for my soul And since then I've learned how to be a daughter To love, and to live as I'm told [Chorus] Rivers run south, oceans run deep Blood runs thick and secrets don't keep But this milk turns sour, words are unsaid Hair turns gray, soon I'll be dead and gone, gone, gone When the sun climbs the sky in the morning I am thankful again for my breath And as sure as the skin I was born in I will chase my own tail 'till my d**h [Chorus] [Chorus] Outro: (Rivers run south, oceans run deep Blood runs thick and secrets don't keep But this milk turns sour, words are unsaid Hair turns gray soon I'll be dead and...) Gone, gone, gone Dead and gone, gone, gone
