We dance to the curious sound of our own songs
And we broke that china doll parade
It wasn't right:
But we all held curses for the queen
I laughed at a hand sticking out from the rose bed
Where we lay like captives on the day
And it wasn't right:
But we all held curses for the queen
Oh river don't run me dry
I've got to hide cold water in my veins
I'll stand with my feet on the streets of this old town
Where we stayed to paint our lives in grey
And it wasn't right"
But we all held curses for the queen
Oh river don't run me dry
I've got to hide cold water in my veins
