The River

Hunter G. K. Thompson

Compositor: Hunter G K Thompson

I was born
I was born
The river she had me
They sent me to war

How will we die
How will we die
The river she raised me
Just lay me in the water

There's thieves in the night

I’ll be born again
I'll be born again

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
The river she sees me
We’ve wasted this life

Tall stands the Sun
Tall stands my love
The river she slayed
She bathed me in blood

I'll be born again
I'll be born again

When I’m gone
When I’m gone
When I'm gone
When I’m gone

This is not the end
When I'm gone
Remember what I said
When I’m gone
I'll be born again
When I’m gone
Her streams will guide me back
When I'm gone

Just lay me in the water
When I'm gone
Just give me to my mother
When I’m gone

Just lay me in the water
When I’m gone
Just give me to my mother
When I'm gone

I was born
I was born
The river she had me
