Rivers of whiskey Rivers of girls Rivers like ravens Rivers of pearls Watch me boys for I could fade tonight The shore is dark and void of any light Rivers of loudmouths Rivers of work Rivers of boredom And rivers of hurt Watch me boys for I could fall tonight The shore is dark and void of any light We scrapped and then we fought with all our might The shore is dark and void of any light Her eyes are like two sparrows Gone and faraway And all I want is what she was Before I said what young sailors say Rivers full of smoke And rivers full of grins Now rivers are full of rooms That I'm no longer in Watch me float and fade to black tonight The shores are dark and void of any light I tumbled through the haunt and fell inside This river too is dark and void of light Rivers full of coils And rivers full of strings Rivers are such mysterious And ruthless and seductive things Her eyes got like two sparrows So dark and faraway And all I want is what she was All I want is what she was All I want is what she was Now all I want is what she was Before I said what young sailors say It goes like this The end's a kiss Summer grins At winter's fist And as you drift All you'll get is Hallelujah I threw it all away I threw it all away Don't throw it all away On rivers that don't exist It goes like this The end's a kiss Summer grins At winter's fist And as you drift All you'll get is Hallelujah
