Various Artists - Black Muddy River lyrics

[Verse 1] When the last rose of summer pricks my finger And the hot sun chills me to the bone When I can't hear the song for the singer And I can't tell my pillow from a stone From a stone, from a stone [Verse 2] When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain And the stars start to splatter in the sky When the moon splits the southwest horizon With the scream of an eagle on the fly [Chorus 1] And I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own, of my own Yes, of my own [Instrumental] [Verse 3] When it feels like the night will last forever And there's nothing left to do but count the years When the strings of my heart start to sever And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears [Chorus 2] And I will walk alone by the black muddy river And dream, dream me a dream of my own Yes, and I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own And sing me a song of my own [Outro] Yes, and I will walk alone by the black muddy river And dream, dream me a dream of my own Oh, and I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me, sing me a song of my own Of my own, of my own
