Aoife + The Willows - The River Lyrics
Official




He taught me well,
Never to undersell any aspect of myself
I grew tall and bright
In the arms of his wife
These people chose me,
They gave me life
Bar as high as the river (high as the river)
But I'll kiss you between them,
Anyway
Split second spark was enough
To set my soul
Ablaze
You set my soul
Ablaze
Bar as high as the river (high as the river)
It flows within my bones
You were naive
It was charming to see, at the start
But I fear I've wasted so many years
On somebody who really hated (I hated)
The thought of being sedated
By charm and safety
Bar as high as the river (high as the river)
But I'll kiss you between them,
Anyway
Split - second spark was enough
To set my soul
Ablaze
You set my soul
Ablaze
Bar as high as the river (high as the river)
It flows within my bones
In deep breaths
And regrets
Oh you dwell in the back
Of my cultural resets
Soft and supportive
Love me like a child
But it wasn't enough
We were lacking that high
That high, That high
In the shadow of another man
Hold me
In the palm of your hand, please
Sail the ends of the earth with me
Don't be the man
He taught me to leave
(Taught me to leave)
(Taught me to leave)
Over my happy
