River Burning Down

from Uphill Both Ways (2001) by Murray The Cop

/

lyrics

forests will rise when the darkness arrives
and winter will steal your skin
blankets are burned and cars overturned
there's no one who's safe from sin
an image is saved through a picture frame
a memory of what could have been
water turned to sparks at the slightest remark
and the fire caught life through the wind

i live in the stars outside your window
i look in everytime that you go by
but deeper in my dreams, you're just a cinder
in a river burning down, i'm floating underneath

they fought it for days through a smoke-filled haze
and admitted defeat to the flames
the thunder had roared through the ocean's floor
and the ashes were all that remained
we both ran for cover, away from another
i held my breath as it came
now i'm going under and you're left to wonder
what faces will match the names

i live in the stars outside your window
i look in everytime that you go by
but deeper in my dreams, you're just a cinder
in a river burning down, i'm floating underneath

there's a river burning down
and i'm floating underneath...
