Esme Patterson - Louder Than the Sound lyrics

Well I stood on a cliff Looking over the river. I asked that ship sinking just like a sun You could hear the silence and thunder Louder than the sound And I felt myself losing my mind as I watched The man that I love, slowly drown Oh the wild Mississippi Muddy and mean. Well the heart that you took, It was wild, it was mine. When it cast the dice at the tables His blood, it would sing And it told me that he'd win a hand He'd save some of it to buy me a ring Oh I curse you with all the fire in my blood Yeah I curse you standing here, In lightning, and rain You could hear the silence and thunder Louder than the sound And I felt myself losing my mind as I watched The man that I love, slowly drown
