The River Between

Rock’n’roll erased my memory
I once had a book of many
Like a tidal wave come crashing down
Looking on the dark side bright eyes
Cover up your ears from my cries
I’d like to settle in but I won’t back down
Like a devil on the run, or a sympathetic gun
Baby, I just can’t slow down
There’s a killer in the sea, it’s really you and me
Swear that I can see the ground, even when the lights are down
Reckoning is dead and buried
Silent like a cemetery
In a shallow grave you hit the ground
Looking at the bright side, black eyes
Cover up my ears from your cries
I’d like to let you win but I won’t back down
Like a devil on the run, or a sympathetic gun
Baby, I just can’t slow down
There’s a killer in the sea, it’s really you and me
Swear that I can see the ground, even when the lights are down
I will drink to this, and let this song begin with you
In this emptiness, on the outside of it all
Like a devil on the run, or a sympathetic gun
Baby, I just can’t slow down
There’s a killer in the sea, it’s really you and me
Swear that I can see the ground, even when the lights are down
