Lyrics BoDeans – Red River
Text:
It was the dead of night in late July
Thunder crack made the angels cry
Waters came and washed away
All my fears, they had the final say
So, I took my love to the water’s edge
Took my love to the final pledge
She said «sorry son, I’ve had enough
This livin’ on a prayer is just livin’ bad luck»
And «bye-bye», and «bye-bye»…
And the red river…
Took my love away from me
Took my love far away from me
Took my love away from me
Took my love far away from me
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
Sweet Angeline turned and walked away
Into the night, into the water’s way
She got caught up in that river’s flow
It took her down-down and it never let go…
And the red river…
Took my love away from me
Took my love far away from me
Took my love away from me
Took my love far away from me
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
You talk about love like it’s a lastin’ thing
Gold promises, in a wedding ring
We swore love, in a lastin’ vow
And the red river…
Took my love away from me
Took my love far away from me
Took my love away from me
Took my love far away from me
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
