Lyrics:

Hold me river*
Here’s my bones
Look at all those river stones
Forming patterns on the shore
Of the man I was before
Clothes now dripping off the line
Stubborn sun don’t want to shine
If I could turn it back don’t know
Don’t know what I’d forego
She’s the girl with the crooked grin
Thoughts all waiting to begin
She’s the one with the spools of thread
Colors always in her head
And I’m the boy in the chestnut trees
I’m the boy still on his knees
I’m the one in the crumpled clothes
I’m the boy who comes and goes
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no
Oh momma I’m fine
Don’t worry all the time
Don’t worry all the time
Oh that fire burned so fast
Promises they couldn’t last
Pictures in those wooden frames
Faces now don’t look the same
And all the lessons that we learned
All of that too quickly burned
In the river down below
All those ashes floated slow
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no
Oh momma I’m fine
Don’t worry all the time
Oh, I’m coming home
Sweet river take me home
Sweet river take me home
Sweet river take me home
Rock me river here I am
Come on take me back again
Rock me river, rock me slow
Take me where I’m meant to go
With all those ashes floating slow
With all those ashes floating slow
With all those ashes floating slow
