Blue River

Look across that pale blue river
I’ll set sail here in the gutter
Give me coins to pass and I’ll drift away

I’ve got no regrets I know of
Just a pocket full of bullets
Drop them down the well and I’ll drift away
Deep down I’ll keep on flowing away, away, away
I’m so sorry I can’t stay

Look across you’ll see the mountain
Tall and sharp, the face of giants
Give me coins to pass, it will take me there

I’ve got no regrets I know of
Just two eyelids full of silver
Drop them down the well and I’ll drift away
Across that pale blue grey, away, away
I’m so sorry I can’t stay
