Missy Higgins - The River Lyrics
She ran until her face was numb with cold and
Wore a cotton gown that blazed the night untold
She ran until her feet refused to hold
So heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old
And when she reached the river her knees began to shiver
Behind her was a vision, a painful apparition
Of a darker world that no-one should know
Somebody's bed will never be warm again
The river will keep this friend
There's somebody's bed will never be warm again
No never again
She dived beneath the water's icy skin
Hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin
Just wishing the numbness to cut deeper with its pins
And as her body lay there she decided to stay there
Till darkness came to pull her away
And beautifully she sank as up river was the bank
Where some bodiless troubles would stay
Somebody's bed will never be warm again
The river will keep this friend
Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again
No never again
Somebody's bed will never be warm again
The river will keep this friend
Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again
No never again
