Harry James Angus - The River Queen lyrics

The thing is that a river never has to choose a path It just flows down, past the valleys and the parks And it takes on a lot of sh** along the road But the river knows exactly where it's going To the ocean at the bottom of the hill Where the green gra** meets the deep blue dark Deepness of the waters cold as ice I had come to this place to bury some things Bury my iPod, bury my rings And I filled the whole with all my cycling clothes Then 'round the bend of the river she came Cold as ice, the river queen With hair of gold and skin of blue She floated past without so much as a "how do you do?" When I stood and stared She floated out to sea and was sunset Eventually the water turned to red The thing is that a river bends and twists like a lie And a river is a very good place to hide So they placed her in the water in the darkness of the night And he kissed her on the brow, and let her to the tide Oh you foolish, foolish man Wiping the blood from the back of your hand Don't you know the river is a lady The thing is that a river never has to choose a path It just flows down, past the valleys and the parks And it takes on a lot of sh** along the road But the river knows exactly where it's going To the ocean at the bottom of the hill Where the green gra** meets the deep blue dark Deepness of the waters cold as ice
