Old Cold River by Growlers
Old Cold River lyrics
They drug me down to the old cold river
They�re gonna throw me in
Cuz I�ve been caught sleeping with the daughter
Of the only man in town who can swim
I�m facing the old cold river my back against the wind
They gon� throw me down to the bottom of the river
Never to rise again
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Down, to rest with the fish
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom just as the
old man wished
The sea sleeps and the moon is hanging
Something I�d rather do
But I�m facing the old cold river
Bed of eternal blue
With no reason to breathe without the right to love
free
Sleep in the deep, sink like a drink
Until again when we meet
I sink down, down to the old cold bottom
Without a hope in the clouds
Down down to the old cold bottom
To rest my bones in the ground
They can�t save me
Nobody can save me
They can�t save me now
They can�t save me
Nobody can save me if I must live without
I�d rather drown
Till I rise to the wide open sky
Down to the bottom old lonely bottom
Till I rise to the wide open sky
Leaving this place where love�s forbidden
Life without her love ain�t worth living....
