The Waifs - The River lyrics

I stood and watched my daddy die no one could help his plate he was trying to save our home on the day that the river rose well it came alive I heard them say there was nothing we could do as he washed away running from the heart of it right into the cause of it X 2 I'm mad now, but I'm only seven well it's been hard since papa went to heaven but staying now, my mama said he worked this land, and his life it's here running from the heart of it right into the cause of it X 3 Yeah everyone you follow me late at night we'll go down to the river where the moon is bright and we can wash our sorrow down underneath that shining ground and we'll be sitting in the sunlight laughing can't you feel daddy there there's life and d**h and all this power underneath these shining stars running from the heart of it right into the cause of it X 3
