Lyrics River of Sorrow - Antony & The Johnsons
There
is
a
black
river
It
passes
by
my
window
And
late
at
night
All
dolled
up
like
Christ
I
walk
the
water
Between
the
piers
Singing
Oh
River
of
sorrow
River
of
time
River
of
sorrow
Don't
swallow
this
time
For
we
all
know
the
baby
has
expired
Long
ago
she
was
pulled
from
the
mire
And
no
precious
liar
or
well-wisher
Can
return
the
love
that
was
stolen
Oh
River
of
sorrow
River
of
time
River
of
sorrow
Don't
swallow
this
time
Can
you
see
the
light
At
the
end
of
the
dark
passageway
Take
me
with
you
towards
the
light
Into
the
darkness
passing
over
the
faces
in
the
river
Hear
me!
I'm
whispering
in
your
ear!
Oh
River
of
sorrow
Oh
River
of
time
River
of
sorrow
Don't
swallow
this
time
Oh
River
of
sorrow
Oh
River
of
time
River
of
sorrow
Don't
swallow
this
time
