River of Tears - Madeleine Peyroux

Stop all this talk

Turn off the telephone

Open up another bottle

Send those people home

Let it get real quiet

Turn that lamp way down low

I'm gonna float down

This river of tears

I remember how we spoke

On the days he was dry

Even now that he's gone

He can make a woman cry

But he saw through me deaf

Dumb and blind

He knew his way down

This river of tears

Dashed hopes and best intentions

People say

He could sit and drink the way

A monk could pray

So grab that silver flask

Pour yourself another glass and

Watch me rage down

This river of tears

Turn out the stars now

Darken every one

Watch the clouds cover

That big yellow moon

Close the blinds mute the sun

There's nowhere left to run

Turn out the stars now

Darken every one

Watch the clouds cover

That big yellow moon

Close the blinds mute the sun

There's nowhere left to run

Picked up that old decanter

That he used to drink from

Turned on his stereo

Just to hear it hum

Daddy I'm gonna wrap myself

In blankets and listen to you sing

And I'm gonna float down

This river of tears
