I Fell - The Handsome Family

Last night I went out walking

Out on the edge of town

Not going no place special

Only wandering around

I came upon a river

I thought about what you’d said

And couldn’t stop it flowing

And running through my head

You said that I’ve been changing

And never seemed to laugh

But I can’t recall the last time you smiled

And it’s tearing me in half

I want to run and tell you

The thoughts that are in my head

But I don’t think that you’d believe

A single word I said

The river’s water runs so cool

It calms my burning skin

It takes away my aching thoughts

And cleanses all my sin

So let it flow on, take me down

To sleep that quiet sleep

And roll my body back to you

My love you may always keep
