James River Incident

By: Steve Wynn
 After 47 days they left well enough alone. The cops and the reporters
 have
 all gone home. All that's left is legends and stories to be told.
 Tired of
 all the questions. Tired of all the calls. Tired of explaining myself
 against the wall. Funny how tragedy brings out the best in everyone. *
 Standing on the shoreline, burning candles in the rain. I don't wanna
 hear
 that garbage anymore. Watching all the flowers as they're rolling down
 the
 James. The dead can rest forevermore if the creek don't rise again. *
 Love
 burns brightest all dressed up in black with summertime just around the
 bend.
 You handle your grief and I'll deal with mine. We'll all get along
 just
 fine. * After 47 days they left well enough alone. The cops and the
 reporters have all gone home. All that's left is legends and stories to
 be
 told. And I know that they're out there. I know they're watching me
 and
 they wait for me to give myself away. But there's just a few secrets
 between
 the river and me.
