The River

from Sky of No Stars by John Galm

/

lyrics

When I found you by the river, you were crying

So I carried your weak body to the wash

And I held you down until I felt you dying

Then I buried you along the growing moss

I found a stone to place upon the mountain

Of mud and silt and skin that I just made

Then I took off both my shoes and dug my feet in

And my footsteps followed me home from your grave

An engine screams above me and I cry

Its whistle drug a dagger through the night

When the police find what remains of your body

They’ll follow the short path to my front door

When the police find what remains of your body

I’ll meet you where the world can’t hurt no more
