Lyrics

Album version

Your soul is black Your blood is cold Your skin is rough You have a heart of gold Your face so dark Feel clammy hair Upon your flesh Wet creatures everywhere Gives me a shiver Wild river You stole my eyes Never gave them back You tried to kiss me Set a shiver on my neck Wild river Wet golden shrine You stole my mind And tried to kill me Sent a shiver down my spine You hate the sun But rain is nice You love the snow But you are afraid of ice You're dressed in mud Unsafe to drive I want your gold But you want, you want my life You want my life Wild river You stole my eyes Never gave them back You tried to kiss me Set a shiver on my neck Wild river Wet golden shrine You stole my mind And tried to kill me Sent a shiver down my spine You tried to drown me Never mind to swim And tried to eat me Put a shiver on my skin You tried to hold me With million fins And tried to heal me Wash off my sins Your kingdom come We're kneeling on the planks All the trees bend over on the banks Gives me shiver Wild river You stole my eyes Never gave them back You tried to kiss me Set a shiver on my neck Wild river Wet golden shrine You stole my mind And tried to kill me Sent a shiver down my spine You tried to hold me With million fins And tried to eat me Bite off my sins You tried to drown me Never mind to swim And tried to kill me Set a shiver on my skin
