Major Parkinson - Black River lyrics

Yesterday she was pulled up from the river Wearing a silver bracelet and a bucket of stones around her pretty neck Holding an empty canvas to a mirror I picture myself alongside of the girl on the bridge the morning of the fall When she was staring into a hollow abyss Reminisced slipping into the cold black river Silent capercaillies by the rivulet Hovering, the highland la** Waning in the holler by the silhouettes Everyone you know shall pa** Never to feel comfort in the arms of a stranger Howling from the heathers in the gloaming mire Through clammy and slender paths The billow turned the birches to redundant snags Unavowed we stood like icicles in the black river Stop, my little child You won't get further than this, I see you smile Under the frothing abyss we reconcile We're pestilential and vile, the both of us Let's get together and dance into the void until it stares into our soul So hush, my little child Come join the purgatory trip through your denial Among the carpenter bees and honey pies We'll see the home that you left You were a child I was your daddy back then So splendour tender when the morning slipped into your dream Scarlet tangerines, taffy pullers, bu*ter beans and baseball figurines Forever and ever buried under the cold black river
