Breaking Bread; Down by the River, Running Red 07:20
lyrics
buy track
You've Been wading in the rain In the cold With devils eyes So rest Those restless eyes Oh with a death While They sing She's been missing all the summer But I know where she's been We've been romancing in the winter Now the river runs red With her blood for all to see Marie Where you been I've been looking everywhere Now it is A new season Blazing snow She's been running all the summer Like a faun Through the Forrest I've been hunting all the winter I am alive With the taste of blood In Those restless eyes I see the moon I am the night She's been sleeping all the summer And I know where she's been This is all what I could do in the winter Now the river runs red With her blood for all to see

i walk these streets of these shadow towns people smile when they pass me by i look mighty fine but i'm mighty sick inside these crowded lonely bars where no one seems see me all those pretty girls and their pretty smiles but i know there is something more that's underneath and i could never catch their eyes but when I do i knock em off their feet with a lot of charm and a dark mystery so i tell her how i love to gaze into her beautiful blue eyes she's so sweet like a faun i'd like to chase you through the woods let me smell your hair it smells just like my mama's used to smell when we would lay down in the grass in the summer and from this bar stool i watch the cops go by they seem to barely know what to do with paper headlines of bad men and blood so ladies stay inside there's a smell of blood in these summer nights yeah i'll get by with a smile and a lot of guile those raintree skylines at night they take me back home to that house down by the lake the place where i was born those raintree skylines they said i don't matter they said i'd never matter they said i don't matter but i be making headlines so ladies lock your doors i smell of blood in these summer nights so ladies stay inside there's a smell of blood in these summer nights yeah i'll get by with a smile and a lot of guile those raintree skylines at night they take me back home to that house down by the lake the place where i was born those raintree skylines they said i don't matter they said i'd never matter they said i don't matter but i be making headlines those raintree skylines

and i give up on these fantasies of fallen man and angels they keeps us trapped in lives like these now i get down i choose to live these dreams we're getting out i'm following that candle in the dark i look up i unclasp my hands put them and my mind to work what's the point in brief moments of comfort in lives like these i'd rather get out then bank on ghost and fathers and saviours from anthoer life we'll make this one ours though mary says that we got nothing we're still holding on cause we got these restless dreams oh yeah, we'll burn these streets cause we got these restless dreams for more than tonight

so kill me now before i may kill and steal again this simple boy a simple plan awry and bolt and bolster your doors and save and save your remorse my sis she got out flown by her ma Jessie, i hope your living the good life what did mine do she wondered while i waned and waned while i broke now i'm but a child in a mans shell i've bones you can break no life you can take i may look old i'm not old I'm not old poison burns t?rouge? my veins my life it surely tales as i gaze into your eyes i'm now i am old i am old i am old the perfect fool for the fall So kill me now for his sins before he may kill again And So you may sleep Bring out your dead So we can see Where these bodies lie The warmest lies with me I remember when he said “I think Saint Nick must think The poor a wicked bunch” He was almost 21 You turned while we waned And waned while we broke But we’re the ones in chains I’ve no bones you can break my life you can take For I am old I am old I am old My life you can take In his place for these bed I made And I am old I am old I am old … and all I can see Are his blood shot eyes As the poison drains them of….
