River

I remember, I took my first steps right over there
 Mid September, smell of burning leaves in the air
 We were strugglin', trouble was in reach
 Like one of us had one minute of sleep
 The light was heavy, I just can't explain
 I heard the buzz by the lake from the little prop plane
 Through the narrows, arrow to the heart
 September fell black and family fell apart
 The river can't even run 'round anymore
 It can't do the things for you that it did before
 Alone in the rain, all night I've been a-runnin'
 It's always the same, I can hear someone comin'
 They can put me in chains, but I ain't use to their reins
 Only way to explain, got that river in the veins
 The river can't even run 'round anymore
 It can't do the things for you that it did before
 The river can't even run 'round anymore
 It can't do the things for you that it did before
