Lyrics David Usher

David Usher

The River

I remember that I found you

Just waiting in the dark

Took me to the river where we always fell apart

And we lay amongst the rocks

Naked in the sand

Waiting for the moment that we hoped would never end

And I came to you for comfort

But I never stopped the pain

I remember we were smiling

As our bodies tore away

So take me to the river

I can almost feel it

The water's washing over me

And I don't even mind

And I know that you're screaming

I can barely hear it

The water's washing over me

And I don't even mind

I don't even mind

I don't even mind

I don't even mind

Woke up in the morning

As the lights began to freeze

Tried to stop the current changing of the leaves

Now it's frozen in the spotlight

Burns like the sun

Waiting for the moment that I knew would never come

So I held you close for comfort

But I couldn't stop the pain

Knew that we were dying

As our bodies tore away

So take me to the river

I can almost feel it

The water's washing over me

And I don't even mind

And I know that you're screaming

I can barely hear it

The water's washing over me

And I don't even mind

I don't even mind

There, by the shore, I am raw

I can almost taste it

Hope, like a drug, in the blood

I can feel it coming

Walk, till we fall, till we crawl

I can almost taste it

There in the blood

Like a drug

I can hear it coming

So take me to the river

I can almost feel it

The water's washing over me

And I don't even mind

And I know that you're screaming

I can barely hear it

The water's washing over me

And I don't even mind

[x2]

I don't even mind

I wash away

I wash away
