The Wooden Sky - River Song One lyrics

I watched the water roll in off the river And said "My dear we're in for it now" You said "Lay your head down Next to mine on the ground And if the lord doesn't save us we'll drown" So we both lay there shaking Our hands in the river Saying "I'm sure we were born Just to die" But when the water rushed in I gave in to my sins And found my own way to higher ground Where I watched as the water Took hold of your body From high on my hill of retreat You smiled up at me Amongst the bodies and trees I didn't sleep for a week after that Finally the river let go of your body And my mind drifted off into sleep But your eyes came to me Disguised as the sea Saying "I can't forgive you for this" Please darling, please You're much stronger than me And I've tried all my days to believe You said "Don't come around The next time you get down Looking to me for release"
