old cold river

The Growlers

They drug me down to the old cold river
Theyââ?¬â?¢re gonna throw me in
Cuz Iââ?¬â?¢ve been caught sleeping with the daughter
Of the only man in town who can swim
Iââ?¬â?¢m facing the old cold river my back against the wind
They gonââ?¬â?¢ 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 Iââ?¬â?¢d rather do
But Iââ?¬â?¢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 canââ?¬â?¢t save me
Nobody can save me
They canââ?¬â?¢t save me now
They canââ?¬â?¢t save me
Nobody can save me if I must live without
Iââ?¬â?¢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 loveââ?¬â?¢s forbidden
Life without her love ainââ?¬â?¢t worth living....
