Between the River and the Railroad

作词 : Richard Penn

Portrait on the mantelpiece
Woman I did not know
She took a sip from the devil’s cup,
She drank alone in the darkest hour

Carried the girl who fell from the sky
Buried alone with tears in her eyes
Broken to pieces and frosted with bites
Froze her in time and then left her behind
Died far too young, oh she’s too young to die
Sorry I see all the pain in your eyes
Oh no no no no

Portrait on the mantelpiece
Woman I did not know
The price tag hangs heavy
When life says time

Oh I’m just going outside
I might be some time
But I’ll be right back to you
Between the river and the railroad

X marks the spot where I lost my way,
Hope grew too much, got lost and frayed,
Behind closed doors (Ooh baby)
I’m living through the longest pause

(Triplet flow)
Lately it feels like I’m falling apart
Long summer nights looking up at the stars,
Life is a promise, so distant, unscarred,
The miles and the minutes grow further apart

Oh I’m just going outside
I might be some time
But I’ll be right back to you
Between the river and the railroad

Oh I’m just going outside
I might be some time
But I’ll be right back to you
Between the river and the railroad

Between the river and the railroad

Between the river and the railroad
