Burning The River lyrics

his lips don`t move
but still he speaks
his dark green eyes stare at me
he tells me of his papa
working on the railway
blowing his harmonica
in the morning

i`m checkin` in, checkin` out
feeling loved, filling out
deeper fish, deeper lungs
deeper words for the deeper tongue

he says i`m telling you
i`m burning the river

so i go home
a girl lies in my bed
i hold her hipbone
and pulle her closer
i put her cold hands
between my thighs
stare out the window
into a darkening sky

i`m checkin` in, checkin` out
feeling loved, filling out
deeper fish, deeper lungs
deeper words for the deeper tongue

he says i`m telling you
i`m burning the river

she`s left only
her body for me
i lie here feeling her hair
waiting for sleep
in the early hours of night

i`m checkin` in, checkin` out
feeling loved, filling out
deeper fish, deeper lungs
deeper words for the deeper tongue

he says i`m telling you
i`m burning the river
