Oysterband - Angels Of The River lyrics

I took my love To the riverside This weight of love To the riverside Couldn't get across Couldn't back down No place to cross But you can't back down I was up to the knee I was up to the neck It was cold as ice But I couldn't go back Fist of fear Squeeze your heart The world goes red And falls apart And then The angels of the river Angels of the river Angels take you down And then The angels of the river Angels of the river Angels take you down ... My hands are bloody My feet are sore I kicked the squeeze-box Right across the floor A broken tune A broken gla** I won't live long If I live like this

And you can't go back You can't go round Rage like this Pulls governments down I see her face in the stars White like bone Stand at the edge And howl at the moon And then The angels of the river Angels of the river Angels take you down And then The angels of the river Angels of the river Angels take you down (repeating) I took my love To the riverside This weight of love To the riverside Couldn't get across But you can't back down No place to cross But you can't back down And then The angels of the river Angels of the river Angels take you down ... (repeating)
