Mark Lanegan - Leaving New River Blues Lyrics
I had to leave New River after being married there
Couldn't get back home again
So long I ceased to care
Start to fiend, shake
'Till heaven's dry
Went on to old Charlston
Found more trouble there
Couldn't give up on this gambling
And I lost far more than my fair share
Oh and heaven was dry
The first thing that you learn now love
As you ride a broken pony
Learn to love the dirt now love
Love what can't be loved enough
If you fiend, like some do
Then heaven is dry
When heaven is dry baby
You exist for what you need
When hurting starts for real now baby
You'd crawl from Dallas to New Orleans
If you need like some do
Heaven is dry
Leaving New River Blues
