river lies [live] - seanan mcguire lyrics

[verse: seanan mcguire, paul kwinn]
candles on the table in a darkened room
(the tide rolls out)
a long*forgotten voice that sings a half*familiar tune
(and time rolls in)
memories i can’t quite hold, but can’t let go
(you never can)
a bitter smile and hair as white and cold as snow
(go home again)
and river eyes…

[verse: seanan]
candles on the table in a darkened room
hands entwined like voices as we sing his favorite tune
well*loved hands that played me like a mandolin
the rivеr told me it would take me back to him
thе river lies

[chorus: seanan and paul]
so river turn back, turn away from this door
river be kind, for i’ve been here before
river it’s something i won’t recognize
for i have no faith left in cruel river lies
i have no faith left in cold river eyes

[verse: seanan]
darkness in the corners where the firelight fades
i never meant to leave him; we were both of us betrayed
the journey seemed so simple * they all were before
i thought that i’d come home, and so i locked the door
for river lies
[verse: paul]
darkness in the corners where the firelight fades
a moment and my simple, careless plans were all unmade
a door shuts and a key turns and the world is lost
i wonder, when she left me, if she held the cost
in river eyes

[chorus: seanan and paul]
so river turn back, turn away from this door
river be kind, for i’ve been here before
river there’s something here i recognize…
and i have no love left for cruel river eyes
i have no time left for cold river lies

[bridge: seanan and paul]
river be gentle, oh river be kind
river please carry me home
river i’m searching but how can i find
a memory i’ve never known?

[chorus/outro: seanan and paul]
so river turn back, turn away from this door
river be kind, for i’ve been here before
river i’m burning from all the goodbyes
all of the silence, and all of the lies
all of the madness i’ve seen in her eyes
all of the choices we tried to disguise
and i have no faith left in cold river lies…
