Pj Harvey - The River lyrics

And they came to the river 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 'Til they came to the river 'Til they came up close Throw your pain in the river Throw your pain in the river Leave 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 a pain in the river And the pain in the river And the white sun scattered Washed away this slow 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 a pain in the river Like a pain in the river Like a white light scatters To be washed away slow Like a pain in the river Like a pain in the river Like the way life scattered To be washed away slow
