about

original by Chris Ousley

lyrics

When the whiskey ain't workin
And I take no comfort in a toke
When my pills are all placebos
My cigarettes they're all broke
I reach for you in an empty bed
And I know you're with those other boys
I see your face in every crowd,
I hear your voice in their noise

That's when the night becomes my refugee
When I can be alone
But on that levee I hear those sirens,
They're calling me to come home

Yes the river she calls me:

Sweet baby child
Don't you cry
Come in to the comfort of my water's so deep
And sleep and sleep

Sweet child of my mine
Close your eyes
I'll hold you 'til you don't hurt no more
An carry you to that golden shore

ooo ooo ooo ooo
