Alice Boyd - Little River Lyrics

By a mountain river
There I lay my head
Slept below the tree line
Heather for a bed
And the sky did quiver
And the wind did moan
For I drifted downwards
Didn't learn to float
Took about an evening
To get lost
I dreamt once of kisses
Now I dream of home
Said I'd rather miss it
Other hands to hold
Bet you saw this coming
Tried to pave the way
Still I'm carried onwards
Nothing left to say
Down this little river
Out to sea
How it all turns
From today to the death of us
How it hurts to hold
While the sun puts on her smile
While away it all
How it'll fold
As it fades into memory
Angry and untold
Clinging onto yesterday
Hurried to get old
It's all I've got
(It's all I've got)
It's all I want
(It's all I want)
It's all I've got
(It's all I've got)
It's all I want
(It's all I want)
It's all I've got
It's all I want
It's all I've got
It's all I want
