Waifs The The Rive Lyrics

The Rive Lyrics

i stood and watched my daddy die
no-one could help his plight

cos he
was trying to save our home
on the day that the river river rose

well
it came alive I heard him say
there was nothing we can do 
as he washed
away

running from the heart of it
right into the cause of
it
running from the heart of it

i'm a man now
but I'm only
7
well its been hard 
since daddy went to heaven

stay in now my
mumma said
and he worked his land
his life a tear

running from the
heart of it
right into the cause of it
running from the heart of
it
right into the cause of it
running from the heart of it
right into
the cause of it
running from heart

hey but once you follow me late at
night
we'll go down down to the river where the moon is bright
and we can
wash our sorrow down
underneath that shining round

you'll be

sitting in the still night air
cani, phil, daddy there

life and
death and all this power
underneath these these shining stars

running
from the heart of it
right into the cause of it
running from the heart of
it
right into the cause of it
running from the heart of it
right into
the cause of it
running from heart, heart, heart

you give us
strength, while we talk
