I took my love to the river side this weight of love to the river side couldn't get across couldn't back down no place to cross but you can't back down I was up to the knee I was up to the neck it was cold as ice but I couldn't go back fists of fear squeeze your heart the world goes red and falls apart and then the angels of the river the angels of the river the angels take you down my hands are bloody my feet are sore I kicked the squeezebox right across the floor a broken tune a broken glass won't live long if I live like this and you can't go back and you can't go round rage like this pulls governments down I see her face in the stars white like bone stand at the edge and howl at the moon
and then
the angels of the river the angels of the river the angels take you down
