Chorus/background:
Down the the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
Main:
My love took me down to the river to silence me
And when he left I could not speak
I lay on the ground, I tried to scream
But no sound did come out, I could only bleed
I waited for him till the frost did come
My skin it turned blue and my body was numb
But my heart it burned out till there was no more
Still I wait on the ground, I don't know what for
There, there is a heart in here
Where, where is the heart in here?
This love's killing me but I want it to
So long, you're gone, just like I always knew
But I'm still here waiting for you
Here waiting for you
My love took me down to the river to silence me
And when he left I could not speak
The words he said to me, I can never say
Because it's breaking my heart to this very day
There, there is a heart in here
Where, where is the heart in here?
This love's killing me but I want it to
So long, you're gone, just like I always knew
But I'm still here waiting for you
Here waiting for you

My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me

Here waiting for you
Here waiting for you
Here waiting for you
