Oh dirty river
I know you so well
I’m glad you’re still here
Everything else went to hell

And now it’s over
You call me down
I’d tell you everything
But it’s hard to remember now

Oh dirty river
Where do you end?
Oh gentle water
You may be my closest friend

Oh torrent of love
Where do you end?
Oh gentle starlight
You may be my closest friend


Walk around the timid town
Talking shit to the night
Gus says despite the evidence
It’s gonna be alright

But I do wonder
What the future will bring
Will we stand empty handed
With nothing but songs to sing

I’ve got to go now
I’m not sure where
There’s a world inside me
There’s a world out there

And will you still be here
When I return?
Whispering once more to me
It’s time to unlearn everything you’ve learned

Oh dirty river
Where do you begin?
Oh gentle water
You may be my closest friend

Oh torrent of love
Where do you begin?
Oh gentle starlight
You may be my closest friend


Come on the night is young it’s just a child
It’s waiting for you but it won’t wait long
Let’s go to the old graveyard and kiss beside some forgotten tomb
Before day breaks and all the lost souls come around asking for you
It’s ok the night is young it’s just a child
Babe, the night is young its just a child
It’s just a child
