Shallow River

Red sky morning, lover's warning
 Oh, I know that promise you wear, well it ain't for me
 Shallow river, shining within her
 Flood it all, drown the crops, but just please don't swallow me
 Settle down (settle, settle, settle)
 Hold your heart, be still, be still
 May the whole sky fall
 May it all come down
 Wasted all for the title (oh!)
 Wasted all for the crown (oh, oh!)
 Keep your distance, make resistance
 Stay the course when you falter and don't you think of me
 Glowing ember, growing within her
 Burn it all, raze the field, but just please don't swallow me
 May the whole sky fall
 May it all come down
 Wasted all for the truth (oh!)
 For the fool in her wedding gown (oh, oh!)
 Let her leave my sight
 Make her leave my mind
 Bring it down on my head (oh!)
 If these sins are mine (oh!)
 Call it down on my head (oh!)
 For these sins are mine (oh!)
 Settle down (settle, settle, settle)
 Hold your heart, be still, be still
 Let her go (settle, settle, settle)
 Hold your heart, be still, be still
 Lovely lady, no one's baby
 Keep your chains off the ground and don't you think of me
