PJ Harvey - The River

And they came to the river 
And they came from the road 
And he wanted the sun 
Just to call his own 

And they walked on the dirt 
And they walked from the road 
'til they came up close 
Throw your pain in the river 
To be washed away slow 

And we walked without words 
And we walked with our lives 
Two silent birds 
Circled by 

Like our pain in the river 
And we followed the river 
And we followed the road 
And we walked through this land 

And we called it a home 
But he wanted the sun 
And I wanted the whole 
And the white light scatters 

And the sun sets low 
Like the pain in the river
