The Rohan Theatre Band - Between This River And Me lyrics

Hush and I'll tell you a secret, Only me and this river knows, But down there at the bottom, Lie a thousand human bones, And I've known this for a long time, Now, I didn't put them there, So each year I leave flowers, When the blossom is rich in the air, By the banks of the river, over there. Who they were, has long been forgotten, Where they came from nobody knows, Sometimes I think they were soldiers, And sometimes I think they were Jews, And sometimes I think they were bandits Or victims of a great plague, So each year I leave flowers, When the blossom is rich in the air, By the banks of the river, over there. At night the waters whispering, tell stories from their lives, I've only ever heard enough to guess, But if you listen carefully and stare into the swell, You might just catch a name or glimpse a face, And sometimes when the moon is out they rise up like a mist, And dance a dance that's long since been forgot, So each year I leave flowers, When the blossom is rich in the air, By the banks of the river, over there.
