Dragging Hooks (River Song Trilogy Part 3)
Can't lose the taste of this river mud Black water in my lungs They say you can't step in the same river twice Well I've been steppin' in this river Seems like most of my life, so Sharpen up those dragging hooks Pull that sheepshank tight Cast into the river, boys We're dragging for lost years tonight See that man he's lost his wife Said she's be home by eight But that was well on three weeks ago Now he's walking those banks, searcher reduced to her fate, yeah See that boy he's lost his girl Flash flood stole her away Now he keeps a vigil on that suspension bridge Praying for that river to return her one day, so Sharpen up those dragging hooks Tie that clove hitch tight Cast into the river boys We're dragging for lost love tonight SongtexteCan't lose the taste of this river mud Black water in my lungs They say even the weariest river in the end will find the sea But here among the cattails all we discuss is breaking free, so Sharpen up those dragging hooks Pull that sheepshank tight Cast into the water boys We're dragging for lost souls tonight, so Sharpen up those dragging hooks Pull that sheepshank tight Cast into the water boys We're dragging for lost souls tonight Aus Songtexte Mania
