Walkabouts Drag This River

Quick, burn it down to the wick

Burn it down to the heart

So the ending can start

Here, behind the riverhaus door

With an unloaded gun

And an unsettled score

Well I'll never drag this river

I'll never drag this river X2

I'll never drag this river down

You, nothin' comes to you slow

Nothin' comes to you hard

Though you beg like you're hard

And me, don't shake the barrel ar me

And don't treat idle threats

Like you treat all your friends

Well I'll never drag this river

I'll never drag this river X2

I'll never drag this river down

And if you walk out that door

Don't come back

Because there'll be no door

And if you walk out that door

Silence greets you

Silence, will be yours

I hear ya callin' from a long distant shore

But you won't come back, [well / 'cause] you can't come back

The water's risin' and the levee is not sure

And you won't be found, no you can't be found

Drag this river down
