about

a song about murrrrrrderrrrr co-written with dave sills

lyrics

O river, carry my love away
Down where the shadows play
Let the memories quickly fade
O river, carry my love away

O river, catch these tears I cry
I can’t stop no matter how I try
Take them over to the other side
O river, catch these tears I cry

I know that I was wrong, it didn’t have to end this way
Took it all too far, now there’s nothing I can change
Should’ve let a cooler head prevail
Add it to the list of things at which I failed

O river, keep our secret well
You know the truth but don’t you ever tell
I got no soul left to sell
O river, keep our secret well

You can’t unshoot a gun
Add it to the list of stupid things I’ve done

O river, wash my sin away
Don’t want to wear this permanent stain
I can’t live with all this pain
So river, carry me away
O river
