Beth Orton – Blood Red River Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second

Took a friend I found
Across some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time to forgive her

Why must people always want what they cant have?
Why must people always grab what theyd never grasp?

How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lilied lake
Im sure we used to play
Is it only a dream away?

Took a raft I found
Across some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time for my dinner

Why must people always want what they never have?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you thats bled?

How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lilied lake
Im sure we used to play
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream away

Lost a friend
I found down some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time to forget her

Why must people always want what they cant have?
Why must people always take, but forget to ask?

How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac lilied lake
Where Im sure where we used to play
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream away
