Woody Brown River Lyrics

by Guillemots

Like forks calling knives across sands of flags
Woody brown river keeps calling me back
Well, she runs like a cheetah and melts fire when she sings
How I long to be dwarfed by her watery wings

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e87703-guillemots~woody_brown_river_lyrics.html ]
To the woody brown river I often would ride
Stand on her banks and toss pebbles inside
Watch the sky crack and laugh as its sentences fell
For the woody brown river ran deep as a well

Oh, woody brown river, you're breaking me up
A seashell just landed in my water cup
You're always there waving from the back of my mind
With desperate hands that claim to be kind

Woody brown eyes that render me blind

So as forks beckon knives across sands of flags
Woody brown river is breaking my back
When you find the sunset, you just crave the sunrise
I shall never sleep till I've slept in her thighs
