Pj Harvey - The River lyrics

And they came from the road

and he wanted the sun

just to call his own

And they walked on the dirt

And they walked from the road

Etil they came up close

Throw your pain in the river

To be washed away slow

And we walked without words

And we walked with our lives

Two silent birds

Circled by

Like our pain in the river

And we followed the river

And we followed the road

And we walked through this land

And we called it a home

But he wanted the sun

And I wanted the whole

And the white light scatters

And the sun sets low

Like the pain in the river
