It's 25 degrees below
or so it seems
Whatever it is it's awful cold
Cover me
All the pigs are safe and warm
the children freeze.
Chill a soul down to the bone
Please cover me

[CHORUS]
I take the side roads
to see what I'll see
It's a hard life I do suppose
But when my eyes close I want to be free
Free like a river.
[CHORUS]

Across the corn rows
what do I see
A line of cars across the road
The police
The said, "You better stop there boy
or we'll make you bleed"
Instead I ran away from there
Lord cover me

CHORUS

They had me trapped there
Impossibly
I closed my eyes and prepared to die when
I heard the beat
Of 10,000 people
marching in the streets
A revolution come to call and to
cover me.

[CHORUS]
I took the side roads to
see what I'd see
A struggle still I do suppose
When my eyes close
We're gonna be free
Free like a river

LRisen "Blood Red River" - Beth Orton

Took a friend I found across some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forgive her
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp?
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away?

Took a raft I found across some blood red river
Never did find my home in time for my dinner
Why must people always want what they never had?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled?
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream away

Lost a friend I found down some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forget her
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always take, but forget to ask?
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
Where I'm told we used to play
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream, only a dream away
Away
