Red Sky Mary - River Child lyrics

You escaped the morning And left your home And went down the river Where shadows roam You can hear them calling As you close your eyes And drift off down the river Breathe and say goodbye (CHORUS) Down the river child You’re gonna find a friend Who will take what you want and need? And lead you to the end Float down the river child And you will be condemned It takes what you want to be You bleed temptation And turn the river red And now you’re drowning reason The demons in your head It leaves you suffocating It will pull you down And you can taste the water As they watch you drown (CHORUS) And leads you to the end His breath is short And his mouth dry His pupil’s are small Lost within lifeless eyes The spoons are all burned And his shoelaces bare And with the needles kiss His face a blank stare He has lost his will He has grown so I'll Now the tide washes him away, oh yeah He cannot heal No he cannot feel The hunter becomes the prey The sun is shining through the trees The water’s risen to his knees And now it has him, he cannot breathe No he can’t, no her can’t It takes him under it drags him down And he’s forgotten, forgotten Without a sound (CHORUS) And leads you to the end Oh yeah baby Oh yeah Breathe and say goodbye
