Slow Rivers

Swim my way in a flood of tears
Chances are you'll reappear
The balance was uneven but I'm breaking through
But you don't remember things like that do you?
And slow rivers running cold
But one foot in your door oh that's all I ever got
Slow rivers run cold
Slow rivers running shallow waters never sank so low

I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
The winter here don't believe in God
Slow rivers run cold
Slow rivers run cold
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog

I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
Shallow waters never sank so low
You're a slow river and you run so cold

I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
You're a slow river and you run so cold

I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
No place to hide your conscience so

You're a slow river and you run so cold
Shallow waters never sank so low
I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog
You're a sinking ship with no place to go
Shallow waters never sank so low
