RIVER
2004-06, words & music by H. LANGE, CDs: HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD (BM 0606), SUNSET BAR (BM 0707)
HE'S STARRING AT THE WATER, THE RIVER FLOWS, IT'S TAKEN AWAY, DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S LOOKIN' FOR, THIS STRONG GUY ALWAYS SITTING HERE WHEN HIS WORK IS DONE, DOES HE WAIT FOR ANYONE ? I DON'T KNOW HIS FACE IS TURNED AWAY
NOW HE'S LIEIN' AT THE RIVER EVERY DAY, A SILENT GRAVE - A PLACE TO STAY, NOW HE'S STARRING WITH HIS BROKEN EYES AWAY AT HIS RIVER EVERY NIGHT AND EVERY DAY
LITTLE JULIE WALKED AWAY - I SAW HER EYES, TEARS WERE RUNNING, SHE LOOKED NICE, IN HER HAND A SMOKING GUN, TRUTH NO LIES, WHAT HAD SHE DONE ? WHAT FALLEN DICE ?
NOW HE'S LIEIN' AT THE RIVER EVERY DAY ...
SOME YEARS AGO THEY WERE A COUPLE, HE 'N' JULE, IT WAS THE HOTTEST THING ON EARTH, THEY PLAYED THEIR GAMES AND LIVED THEIR LIVES, WITH THEIR OWN RULES, AND AFTER TIMES THEY LOST THIS LOVE AND SO THIS STORY IS SO CRUEL
NOW HE'S LIEIN' AT THE RIVER EVERY DAY ...
AT HIS RIVER EVERY NIGHT AND EVERY DAY - AT HIS RIVER EVERY NIGHT AND EVERY DAY - AT HIS RIVER EVERY NIGHT AND EVERY DAY
