river lies - seanan mcguire lyrics

Loading...

[steve macdonald:] candles on the table in a darkened room;
[seanan mcguire:] the tide rolls out
[steve:] a long-forgotten voice that sings a half-familiar tune
[seanan:] and time rolls in
[steve:] memories i can’t quite hold, but can’t let go
[seanan:] you never can
[steve:] a bitter smile, and hair as white and cold as snow
[seanan:] go home again
[steve:] and river eyes…

[seanan:]
candles on the table in a darkened room;
hands entwined like voices as we sing his favorite tune
well-loved hands that played me like a mandolin —
the river told me it would take me back to him —
the river lies

[both:]
so river turn back, turn away from this door
river be kind, for i’ve been here before

river it’s something i won’t recognize…
[seanan:] for i have no faith left in cruel river lies…
[steve:] i have no faith left in cold river eyes

[seanan:]
darkness in the corners where the firelight fades;
i never meant to leave him; we were both of us betrayed
the journey seemed so simple — they all were before —
i thought that i’d come home, and so i locked the door
for river lies

[steve:]
darkness in the corners where the firelight fades;
a moment and my simple, careless plans were all unmade
a door shuts and a key turns and the world is lost
i wonder, when she left me, if she held the cost
in river eyes

[both:]
so river turn back, turn away from this door
river be kind, for i’ve been here before

river there’s something here i recognize…
[steve:] and i have no love left for cruel river eyes…
[seanan:] i have no time left for cold river lies

[both:] river be gentle, oh river be kind
[seanan:] river please carry me home
[both:] river i’m searching but how can i find
[steve:] a memory i’ve never known

[both:]
so river turn back, turn away from this door
river be kind, for i’ve been here before

[steve:] river i’m burning from all the goodbyes
[seanan:] all of the silence, and all of the lies —
[steve:] all of the madness i’ve seen in her eyes —
[seanan:] all of the choices we tried to disguise —
[both:] and i have no faith left in cold river lies
