River Flow

{fingerpicked acoustic

guitar open, warm analog tape hiss}

Five years has passed,

I'm feeling low

Looking out the window makes me wanna groan

When I peek outside

and see a little girl

It reminds me of the past

and the future I'll never know

Going to the river

to look at my reflection

{delicate acoustic strumming} And I am drowning

Down in the river

Down in the river flow

As the flow takes me down

And the water drowns me in

(oh, the river flow)

{pedal steel guitar swells,

warm bass enters} Another

five years has gone

Still living in the broke down house

Walk by the door each day to see if my angel is

here

Even though

I feel alone

I still have a little bit of hope {brushed snare,

melancholic violin line} And I am drowning Down in the river

Down in the river flow

While the waterfall

just makes it worse

Oh, the river, oh,

the river It takes control

of me {full drum kit entry,

dynamic emotional

swell}

In the river... (hummmm) {acoustic guitar fades

out, tape hiss}
