Lyrics

River Road runs by your your house
A shroud of silt and silence all about
'Cause I remember what they've all forgotten
When it all went rotten, when the heroin came
And stole away your name

The river of snow ran right up to your door
And so had I ten thousand times before
The late rehearsals, the sharp-shooting
the endless planning, taking over the world
Is big business

There's a vein, runs clean through your name
I have come to bring it home again
Your half-hid war-works in every corner
Well, there's a warning, if you should ever need one
Won't your go and hide your guns

River Road runs by your your house
Draped with climbing ivy and blue-stem sprouts
See I remember what they've all forgotten
How it all went rotten, how the heroin came
And stole away your pain
