Blue As The River Runs

(Dan Cardwell)

A reflective, melancholy journey that comes out the other side with a view towards hope

You think you pen your story 
From the cradle to the cross,
But the days have their ways 
Of turning words into dust,
You’re a fighter with your fists up
Whilst you’re willing and able,
But times got the wood and 
Your demons got the nails

Chorus
Now I’m as blue as the river runs after a storm
Now I’m as blue as the river runs after a storm

I fell hook and line for love’s promise
I would have to admit,
Must skip’d the class that warned me
To beware false prophets 
I thought love had something 
Profound it could teach us
But it lied for its sins
And made us promise to believe it

Chorus
Now I’m as blue as the river runs after a storm
Now I’m as blue as the river runs after a storm

Break/Middle 8
The current will take me out and drown me by the rocks
The sky’s alight and hurricanes are running through my blood
I took the poison’s promise cause I needed the lies
But if I get my head above the water, I can turn the tide
Can turn the tide, I can turn the tide….
Turn the tide…….. turn the tide

Outro
Now I’m as clear as the river runs after a storm

Now I’m as clear as the river runs after a storm

Now I’m as clear as the river runs after a storm

Now I’m as clear as the river runs after a storm
