Where the River Runs

When I was young maybe 7 or 8 years old Looking for you dad, it's getting so late and cold And you still hadn't come home Mum was yelling at you, said you couldn't stay You took a hit from the bottle and drove away But I knew where you'd go You built a tower 'round your heart Four walls of cardboard in the dark I know you slept there once Down where there river runs You told me, "Son, you'll learn one day" Sometimes you try to run away I thought you'd given up Down where the river runs Down where the river runs All alone you were gone for 3-4 days By the bridge 'cause the water made you feel safe Like your problems would wash away They all said I was a victim of a broken home You built this castle but it crumbled so I made my own But it fell down anyway You built a tower 'round your heart Four walls of cardboard in the dark I know you slept there once Down where there river runs You told me, "Son, you'll learn one day" Sometimes you try to run away I thought you'd given up Down where the river runs Where the river runs, where the river runs Where the river runs, where the river runs Where the river runs, where the river runs Down where the river runs You were a god just holding me in your arms You dried my eyes in the strongest of thunderstorms 'Til the sky turned back to blue Now I'm older I've been wanting to turn back time Say all the words that I needed to by your side Now your gone and I miss you You built a tower 'round your heart Four walls of cardboard in the dark I know you slept there once Down where there river runs You told me, "Son, you'll learn one day" Sometimes you try to run away I thought you'd given up Down where the river runs Down where the river runs
