The Walkabouts - Drag This River lyrics

Quick, burn it down to the wick Burn it down to the heart So the ending can start Here, behind the riverhaus door With an unloaded gun And an unsettled score Well i'll never drag this river I'll never drag this river x2 I'll never drag this river down You, nothin' comes to you slow Nothin' comes to you hard Though you beg like you're hard And me, don't shake the barrel ar me And don't treat idle threats Like you treat all your friends Well i'll never drag this river I'll never drag this river x2 I'll never drag this river down And if you walk out that door Don't come back Because there'll be no door And if you walk out that door Silence greets you Silence, will be yours I hear ya callin' from a long distant shore But you won't come back, [well / 'cause] you can't come back The water's risin' and the levee is not sure And you won't be found, no you can't be found Drag this river down
