Run river run
Mother's calling heavy the sun
she's tired from the storm, which is from the norm
Standing at the gate, so quiet, unafraid
But one has come
one has come
Run river run
I hear your father's gun
He's weary from the road, the woes and the crows
Kept him at the gates with hands full of praise
But one has come
one has one
Rushing like a spirit from a wineskin bag
Settle by your sister like it's never going back
Mother's crying out with a different kind of sadness
Sam can't shoot between a promise and a habit
Run river run
out of dreams, into the sun
Wake river wake
There's fire coursing through your blood
There's gold in your hair, the silver line is
I know that you're scared, oh they're rushing to the wind
But you won't let 'em in
No, you won't let 'em in
Rushing like a spirit from a wineskin bag
Settle by your sister with your heart in her hands
There's love in your words, she'll learn to sew
I hear her laughing, and it sounds
It sounds like
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
It sounds like
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It sounds like
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It sounds like
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Rushing like a spirit from a wineskin bag
Settle by your sister with your heart in her hands
There's love in your words, she'll learn to sew
I hear her laughing, and it sounds
It sounds like
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It sounds like
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It sounds like
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It sounds like
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
