Black River Lyrics - Hound Heart

Black River by Hound Heart 

Lyrics by Isaac Friend 

It's 4:30am and I'm bent like a bed spring 

I know this place like the back of my hand 

My current company is all tucked up into a booth 

While I'm guzzling booze, trying not to think of you 

Trying to keep a lid on it, but your face 

I see it when the light gets in 

Through cracks in the curtains 

I've got friends 

Some are genuine 

Got a handful of lovers and acquaintances 

But I can't wash you from my skin 

You're the black river I've been bathing in 

It's time to bite the big apple again 

Can I be the kind of man you were picturing, honey

The way it is, well, it just ain't the way it was 

I know 

But now I feel like I'm stuck 

I can feel it and it's all too much 

Maybe this halfway cup is full enough 

But I'm out of touch and definitely out of tune with you 

Trying to keep a lid on it, but your face 

I see it when the light gets in 

Through cracks in the curtains 

I've got friends 

Some are genuine 

Got a handful of lovers and acquaintances 

But I can't wash you from my skin 

You're the black river I've been bathing in 

It's time to bite the big apple again 

Can I be the kind of man you were picturing, honey

Picturing honey 

Picturing honey 

Picturing honey 

Picturing honey 

Trying to keep a lid on it 

But your face, I see it when the light gets in 

Through cracks in the curtains 

I've got friends, medicine, a handful of lovers and acquaintances 

But I can't wash you from my skin 

You, the black river I've been wading in 

It's time to bite the big apple again 

Can I be the kind of man you were picturing, honey 

Picturing honey 

Picturing honey 

Picturing honey
