  • And they came to the river
    And they came from the road
    And he wanted the sun
    Just to call his own

    And they walked on the dirt
    And they walked from the road
    'til they came up close
    Throw your pain in the river
    To be washed away slow

    And we walked without words
    And we walked with our lives
    Two silent birds
    Circled by

    Like our pain in the river
    And we followed the river
    And we followed the road
    And we walked through this land

    And we called it a home
    But he wanted the sun
    And I wanted the whole
    And the white light scatters

    And the sun sets low
    Like the pain in the river Writer/s: POLLY JEAN HARVEY
