Banks of the River

Late last night

The gin was gone and we turned out the light

I've got wars that I can't fight

I've got bullets that I can't seem to bite

On my own

Still the only place I'm gonna make my bed

Is the banks of the river where I lay my head

So I'll stumble to the covers

And turn down the tunes

Safe in the shape of my lovers arms

Well I take my time

And I don't wanna take a step before I'm sure it's fine

I've walked down lonesome highways too

To the edge forest by only the light of the moon

On my own

Still the only place I'm gonna make my bed

Is the banks of the river where I lay my head

So I'll throw on a sweater

And turn down the tunes

Safe in the shape of my lovers arms

I know I'm a fool

'Cause I can't hide from bad days

But at least when you're near me

Oh, it doesn't matter anyway

Still the only place I'm gonna make my bed

Is the banks of the river where I lay my head

So I'll throw on a sweater

And turn down the tunes

Safe in the shape of my lovers arms

Safe in the shape of my lovers arms
