[00:01.00]River of Tears - Madeleine Peyroux
[00:08.67]Stop all this talk
[00:13.31]Turn off the telephone
[00:19.20]Open up another bottle
[00:23.39]Send those people home
[00:27.23]Let it get real quiet
[00:31.22]Turn that lamp way down low
[00:34.74]I'm gonna float down
[00:38.98]This river of tears
[00:49.81]I remember how we spoke
[00:53.30]On the days he was dry
[00:57.74]Even now that he's gone
[01:01.93]He can make a woman cry
[01:06.37]But he saw through me deaf
[01:09.56]Dumb and blind
[01:13.06]He knew his way down
[01:17.60]This river of tears
[01:27.53]Dashed hopes and best intentions
[01:32.42]People say
[01:36.86]He could sit and drink the way
[01:41.49]A monk could pray
[01:45.03]So grab that silver flask
[01:48.82]Pour yourself another glass and
[01:52.66]Watch me rage down
[01:55.76]This river of tears
[02:02.65]Turn out the stars now
[02:06.35]Darken every one
[02:12.13]Watch the clouds cover
[02:14.23]That big yellow moon
[02:20.17]Close the blinds mute the sun
[02:28.20]There's nowhere left to run
[03:11.34]Turn out the stars now
[03:14.88]Darken every one
[03:20.32]Watch the clouds cover
[03:23.06]That big yellow moon
[03:28.25]Close the blinds mute the sun
[03:36.33]There's nowhere left to run
[03:44.86]Picked up that old decanter
[03:48.75]That he used to drink from
[03:54.09]Turned on his stereo
[03:57.73]Just to hear it hum
[04:01.82]Daddy I'm gonna wrap myself
[04:04.35]In blankets and listen to you sing
[04:08.69]And I'm gonna float down
[04:13.35]This river of tears
