Reuben and the Dark - Red River lyrics

Feel the road, it's cold And do they still steal? On a highway of tears And the sorrow shows Where the scars don't heal On a highway of tears On a highway of tears Hands and sheets That don't come clean On a red riverbed I heard the water's song And saw the river's son Carry her away, my dear Carry her away, my dear Hear the words a broken heart can only say Feel so many kinds of pain You are haunted, I can see it in your eyes Like a mother afraid of her own child Carry her away, my dear Carry her away, my dear Carry her away
