The Distant River - RIGHT LYRICS

She told me sweet lies of sweet loves Heavy from the burden of the truth She spoke of her dreams Broken by the burden Broken by the burden of her youth Fourteen years, she said I couldn't look into the sun He saw her laying at the end of my gun Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river I remember her hands And the way the mountains looked The light shot diamonds from her eyes Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river Like the scar of age Written all on my face War is still raging inside of me I still feel the chill As I reveal my shame to you I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo She told me sweet lies of sweet loves Heavy from the burden of the truth She spoke of her dreams Broken by the burden Broken by the burden of her youth Fourteen years, she said I couldn't look into the sun He saw her laying at the end of my gun Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river
