There's this thought in my mind and the blue sky Is mocking me I'm blinded by the lights While my heart beats black as the night I put on my best dress Honey I'm such a mess There's only a memory keeping me here Rivers Rivers Rivers The tighter you hold on to me the faster I run Your most beautiful side is your make-up undone Your face drowning in floods is thine true air You give me a shiver with your cold, cold stare Rivers Rivers Rivers I bathed in your rivers you know Oh I bathed in your rivers you know Now there's a new dawn a new day And it's washing me away Away I've loved and despised you both at the same time For holding me back and for letting me fly Your waters have drowned me and swept me ashore Your river runs through me and whispers encore Oh rivers, rivers, rivers I bathed in your rivers you know Oh I bathed in your rivers you know Now there's a new dawn a new day And it's washing me away Away In your rivers I drowned Your bubbly murmur, like marbles, sweet and sound Rivers Rivers I drowned in your rivers you know Oh I drowned in your rivers you know Now there's a new dawn, a new day And it's washing me away Away
