River Of Love And Loss - The White Buffalo

I should have listened to my mom

She always knew best

But I’m a little goddamn old for that now

At least I guess

So I walked down to the river

Where I find my one true love

She must have floated on down from the mountaintop

From above

But the water rose so quickly

The heartless fury of the flood

And it swept my woman off her feet

Into the mud

So I return to the river

Fill my pockets up with stones

I’m gonna rest under there, underwater

With her bones

Oh, but I don’t sink for nothing

My body only floats

I take the current on out to the ocean

And carry on

I should have listened to my mom

You know she always knew best

But I’m a little goddamn old for that now

At least I guess
