The Walkmen Red River lyrics

The light is finally fading and so I say goodnight
I step out in the darkness, around the firelight
I stepped out in the darkness, lost my way around
I'm going now but I'll be by tonight
I'll get held up by this heart of mine

I was forgotten and buried in the ground
I was reborn into this world, never made it out

I wandered through the morning, I strode along the lines
I woke up in the trenches, they left the dead behind
I woke up in the trenches, burned up in the mud
And now I'm gone, they just bury me alive

If I'm held up by this heart of mine

Oh no, it's all forgotten and buried in the ground
I was reborn into this world, never made it out

Red river, carry me home
I've never been so alone
When the lime messed up my eyes
Red river, carried me home
