Black River
What am I going to doAin't no cage that can hold youSaid it's going to be roughFacing up to some justiceOh Black RiverLet me roll back to youUnder the water the light looks so fineAnd down in the shallows The faithless are gatheringTo steal from the suffererWhat's yours and what's mineWhat am I going to sayAnd who's going to believe meWhen they drag you awayScratching and screaming and kickingSaid its going to be brutalAnd it's me who's left grieving facing up to the truthOh Black RiverLet me roll back to youUnder the water the light looks so fineAnd down in the shallows The faithless are gatheringTo steal from the suffererLetras de cancionesThe sacrament wineOh Black RiverLet me roll back to youUnder the water the light looks so fineAnd out on the ironshore the lighthouse is flickeringA psalm for the serpentsSome rummy's last callOh Black RiverLet me roll back to youUnder the water the light looks so fineAnd down in the foxholeThe torchlights still flickering And back in the shantyThe waters run dryWhat am I going to doAin't no cage that can hold youWhat am I gonna sayWhen they drag you away
