Lay Me Where the River Breaks

I kissed her lips with a mouth full of lies

She saw the storm hid behind these eyes

A lover's touch couldn't pull me through

Now I walk with ghosts and the smell of her perfume

Lay me where the river breaks

Where the water runs cold and the memory shakes

Let her name drift down through the undertow

Lay me there, where the lost souls go

The cards were dealt on a whiskey breath

And I folded fast at the table of death

She said, Don't run, but I ran like fire

Now my heart beats slow, strung on barbed wire

Lay me where the river breaks

Where the water runs cold and the memory shakes

Let her name drift down through the undertow

Lay me there, where the lost souls go

Lay me where the river breaks

Where the water runs cold and the memory shakes

Let her name drift down through the undertow

Lay me there, where the lost souls go
