Blood Red River Lyrics
by Beth Orton
From her album Central Reservation
(Simple picking pattern easy to work out)
Intro:
Verse 1:
Took a friend I found
Cross some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time to forgive her
Pre-Chorus 1:
Why must people always want what they can't have
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp
Chorus:
How did we get so far
How did we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away
Verse 2:
Took a raft I found
Cross some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time for my dinner
Pre-Chorus 2:
Why must people always want what they never have
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled
Only a dream away ...
Away ... yeah
Verse 3:
Lost a friend I found
Down some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time to forget her
Pre-Chorus 3:
Why must people always want what they can't have
Why must people always take but forget to ask
only a dream ... only a dream away
away ... yeah
