Dry The River - Gethsemane Lyrics
It started with the moon
that turned an inexpensive room into St. Peter's
There's a parabolic story but it's boring
and it ends how you'd expect.
Forever dressing down
hanging round outside the kingdom hall
I'd've carried your wedding shawl
you could've said I was a school friend
And you drag your holy horse cart
in the sky when I wake up
They say it's just the sun
But I know that face
Excavating down
and the drowned
and then there's a space
You could walk to our memorial
but it's pouring
and it ends how you'd expect.
I'd dig your dresses out
and hang 'em round about the house
and turn the lights down low
now you're everywhere I go
looking faintly disappointed
And you drag your holy horse cart
in the sky when I wake up
They say it's just the sun
But I know that face
The devil's tricks just seem to sit
so light on you
They'd never get the marionette
that's tied on you
In the parliamentary houses
there'll be talk of what this is
with inexpert witnesses
and evidence against us
But I'll take my pound of substance
from those insubstantial men
whatever their arguments
I'll prove your innocence
Drag your holy horse cart
in the sky when I wake up
Oh yeah
Testify allegiance with more
punctured wounds than Jesus
Oh yeah
Every statue's weeping honey
and it makes my sight go funny
'cause I'm over-sympathetic
and I can't control myself
Leave that painful memory
in the Garden of Gethsemane
Oh yeah,
oh yeah

한국분들 중 드라이 더 리버 좋아하시는 분 계신가요..?
Feels like somebody sings me a poem
Still one of the best bands x
This remains as one of the most beautiful songs I've heard
Drag your holy horse cock?
Fuck get back together!!! My favorite band still...beside Mastodon. Man I miss Dry the River!!!!!
Gospel.
Legendary song... Absolutely brilliant... A masterpiece indeed.
I miss you guys
Love this amazing band sooooooo talented
It really hurts me while listening old songs and remembering that they do not make music anymore together. They were really really good, but i hope in the coming years we hear new music under the name Dry the River :)
Hanging outside the kingdom hall? Were they jehovahs witnesses at one point?
White lies there goes our love again clip in the same hall.
Pure beauty
Lads, you have a pretty decent plot for a horror film: "I'd dig your dresses out and hang 'em round about the house and turn the lights down low now you're everywhere I go looking faintly disappointed"
Feels like a John Donne poem turned into a song.
what music was the theme of two films?
God I miss this Band.
me too, in a big way. we'll always be sons and daughters of the river!
One of the most beautiful songs iv'e come across. <3
your parabolic story is my hyperbolic story in my heart. all a love.
What model guitar is he playing? I see it's an ibanez but what one? Anyone know?
Listening in 2017 anyone? LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
I remember when I found these guys like 4 or 5 years ago. I love their music too much.
I came here because of ContactSH.
Please come back DTR.
omg my name
can't believe they've split :'(
Is this song about loving a JW?
Sério, é tão triste que uma banda tão incrível quanto essa tenha acabado, eles com certeza mereciam mais reconhecimento. Cada música me toca na alma e eu sou realmente grata por ter conhecido a banda ainda em atividade. Pena que eu não pude ter ido a uma apresentação ao vivo, tenho certeza que teria sido uma experiência fantástica...
Why such an Amazing and Wonderful Band is so underrated, why?????
ummmmmmmm
A banda mais maravilhosa de todo universo, arrebataram meu ❤️
pois é, uma pena que separaram.
Belongs in the Life is Strange soundtrack
a m a z i n g
new fave band for sure
I came here because of a Miraculous Ladybug comic. I regret nothing. I think I've found my new favorite band
yeah same
If only they were still together...
I came from a Steven Universe comic
Yep. ML is how I found this too.

Oh yeah,

where is the violinist?
+Andryeno Thomas he left the band just before their second album, in 2014. The band has split up now, since nov 2015
Just knew that they split up last year. so sad.
+Andryeno Thomas yeah I pretty much cried like a bitch ngl
at least they leave us their EP album..
+Andryeno Thomas yeahhh. spoke to Scott (bassist) on Instagram, Pete has gone AWOL and deleted all his social medias and stuff... I think he might be depressed which makes it all worse
So glad I had the chance to see them live in Estonia a couple years ago
Please stay together. Your music brings so much joy to so many people. I am so heartbroken. :(
smurfinit48 peter is making music now you should check it out!
Простите,пишу на русском )) ищу исполнителей,похожих на Джеффа Бакли и нашла! в саундтреке фильма Лес:Божество.хвала интернету

Uma das músicas mais emocionantes que ouvi nos últimos tempos!
BEST UNDERRATED BAND EVER....GUYS YOU MAKE ME WANT TO STOP JAMMIN!
I can't move on!
Never heard anything like this before. Utterly amazing.
Como me gusta este grupo =)
i love you guys
damn
Great song, haven't got a clue what they are on about in it though.
i'm in love with all your music guys , keep being that awesome!
I'm in love <3 this song is incredible !!
Well done. Has Louis Theroux always been this band's drummer?
Dry the River, please please keep doing what you're doing. You are incredibly talented and I can't even put into words how grateful I am for your hauntingly beautiful music and lyrics. Love love love. X
I'm an atheist and I love their music, fuck me right?
@Lemaître I'm going to go ahead and sublty jump onto this comment, and just state that i agree completely. One should not have to depict his being within every sentence -- though the expression of the individual is vital, of course.
I too would consider myself an Athiest, but to ask such a colossal, philisophical question is huge; let alone in the comment section of a band's youtube video. Perhaps Mr Stafford merely wished to impose thought within OP... perhaps.
But be weary, Rick:
"To influence a man is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of some one else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him."
I'm growing fond of this corner of the internet -- can i ask where you're all from? And as always, have an nice evening and DFTBA.
(PS. I also have popcorn ((sweet and salted)), and I am eagerly awaiting the next fragment to this debate..)
@Cal Smith It's just not phylosophical, it's simple, yet, deep. But not phylosophical.
@Lemaître To question who you are, what you are (on an objective level, a walking animal with a million chemical reactions performing in order to survive, a side effect of which has created your interests, hobbies, studies, passions emotion) or to even observe your role to play in the world and thus question if life is worth living if one man can only make so much change and difference? I would call that philosophical, and it is merely a superflous way of writing Stafford's questions.

Why is it whenever I find an interesting comments thread it's always a year old? I am always left following traces of footsteps.
One can be an atheist and appreciate biblical references. The Bible, for all of its bad parts, really influenced literature
Beautifull song
Oh dear, oh dear, at last, a new album! I couldn't wait to hear something new, but at the same time I wondered if they could they get any better. They exceeded my expectations and hopes.
Come to Poland, please! I missed your two concerts and still can't over that. Hearing you guys live is one of my biggest dreams.
62 People are deaf.
EPIC! I love this band and I'm liking the kind of new approach to this new album with it being slightly rockier than Shallow Bed. They are the masters of the crescendo!
ill see you guys on november 2nd in montreal! yesssss!
Isn't this the same location used in the Bluetones After Hours music video?
love them!
anyone knows where this was filmed? This is the third time that I see this location in a video.(White Lies and Wolf Gang)
Gosto muito da banda. Maravilha de música, mas senti a falta do violino.
This band just keeps getting better and better. This is one of my favourites by Dry The River (so far!). I was at the barrier for their Reading Festival set and it was one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen. The vocals were even better live, as were the instruments. They deserve so much more recognition!
ooh so relaxing <3
Dry The River es el mejor grupo del mundo me encanta es muy especial para mi
Best band EVER!
Amor a primera escucha! Me encantó
i love their sound! they are amazing! they kind of remind me of The Shins - ugh just absolutely amazing just the band i was looking for
I'll say
Real good
Local Natives's long lost twin...good stuff
My god, I've died and gone to heaven. Thank you Dry The River.
Saw these at reading and thought they were great!!!
Stunning. Absolutely Brilliant. The Best Band In The World Today.
Yeah boys Get Some Money! You deserve it! :-)
Stop touring UK and come to Australia. You'll make more money over here. Plus the majority are pommy backpackers anyway. Well good!!! Fuckin English bastards
Really beautiful song, like so many of their other songs...really looking forward to later this month!
太好听了不知道说什么。。。
great!! when you guys coming to the netherlands?
Same place the band White Lies filmed one of their recent music videos :D cool
There goes our love again. Funny, didn't notice.
I don't think I've ever cried as much at a band's songs than I have with DTR. Unbelievably talented, it's not normal. Please announce a tour asap. I miss seeing you live - by far the best live band I've seen yet.
Just bought my tickets for October!
Saw then in oxford on the eleventh, incredible! Well worth it, would go again.
That sexy replay button <3
LINDA O DRY THE RIVER SEMPRE ME SURPREENDE
man this song gets to me in a way i didn't think was possible—DTR always impresses and i'm still not disappointed. thanks for making this music. it's much different than everything else out there and it's so… reassuring?? i really don't know how to describe it.
I can feel this getting trapped beneath my skull help...
After years, I can finally sigh relief. Such a beautiful band, I am looking so forward to their new album.
Gosh this band is just so fantastic
can't wait for the album
Lyrics anyone? Can't seem to find them online. Awesome song by the way!
One of my favorite bands
Peter kinda looks like Rhys Ifans a little bit.
