Keaton Henson – The River lyrics
Hear me out
I'm a lover, not a saviour now
And you allowed
Me to love you, though we hated ourselves

And you remind
Me of the window full of starving eyes
I hated love, but love has made me blind
I love you darling, won't you leave behind
My crooked fingers and my hateful lies?
I have this hatred yet it burns inside
Am I to die for all my fucking pride?

To die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die
To die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die
So bad
Would it be so bad?

Oh, who said I
Said I dreamed of love?
And love, can't get love
Trip me up, I don't mind
And hope, hope is when
I get scared of disappointment

Who, who said I
Said I dreamed of love?
And love, can't get love
Trip me up, I don't mind
And hope, hope is when
I get scared of disappointment

I'm by the river, I'm by a cold lake
I'm by the giver, I'm by an old take
I'm by the river, I'm by a cold lake
I'm by the giver, I'm by an old take
I'm by the river, I'm by a cold lake
I'm by the giver, I'm by an old take
