The Distant River Lyrics

(Bridge)
She told me, sweet lies of sweet loves
Hey man, from the better know the truth
She spoke of her dreams, broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of her youth

(Hook)
14 years she said, I couldn't look into the sun
He saw her laying at the end of my gun
Hungry for life, and thirsty for the distant river

(Interlude)
I remember her hands, and the way the mountains look
The life shot diamonds from her eyes
Hungry for life and thirsty for the distant river

(Verse)
Like the scar of rays, rain all on my face
The worries still rising, inside of me
I still feel the chill, as I reveal my shame to you
I wear it like, a tattoo
I wear it like, a tattoo

(Bridge)
She told me, sweet lies of sweet loves
Hey man, from the better know the truth
She spoke of her dreams, broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of her youth

(Hook)
14 years she said, I couldn't look into the sun
He saw her laying at the end of my gun
Hungry for life, and thirsty for the distant river
