| 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 the 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 ¾ 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 the 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
|
| Dried my eyes in the strongest of thunderstorms
|
| Till 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 you’re 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 the 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 |
