Down Down The Deep River (Live From Bozeman / 2013)

I felt like a solid ghost

I ran, and then I couldn't slow

My father found me though

My father took me home

He said, Oh, son, I saw you get knocked down and I ran out

I bet your head was spinning

With that bright pain you're stunned

When you've only just begun to be only just beginning

Tossed in the viper pit

All those feelings and fears

And all the difficult shit in all those tender years

There was something in the air

Something gathered in the air

Something singing in the wind

Oh, I'll be your fighter, and you'll be my mirror

And you'll be all right because I'll be right here

Oh, kid, now I'm not going anywhere

I swear I'll try to not be going anywhere

Though it's not alright

It's so far from all right

We'll make it into a choice somehow

I don't know, but you'll have a choice somehow

Down a hall in your house, down a road in December

(Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river)

We can never go back, we can only remember

(Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river)

Maybe they told you about the summer sky

And maybe they said there's a great gold spirit in the summer sky

All your friends

All your best, best friends

Are going to gather around your bed at night

Well that don't make it alright

Because it is still so far from alright

Oh, kid, I know

Down a hall in your house, down a road in December

Up the stairs, four flights up, can you feel my heart shiver?

Walking in the dawn, with that dream getting dimmer and dimmer

I said, are we going down, are we going down, are we going down the deep river

Oh, down the deep river

Down, down, down, down, down the deep river, down, down the deep river

Why don't you, why don't you, oh, say you still see it

Say, say you remember

Are we going down, are we going down

Hey, hey, hey

Are we going down, are we going down, are we going down, are we going down, down, down the deep river

I know it's scary, baby!
