Brazos River

from Eclipse by Jason Marbach & Barbarossa

	/

lyrics

Verse 1:
A pillar of salt is all I got
As the water met the diamond on the ring I bought
That's what I get for looking over my shoulder
No more time for no regrets
Since my hopes and dreams are now soaking wet
At the bottom of the muddy Brazos river

Verse 2:
This love just wasn't enough
I've got a head full of rocks and pockets full of dust
I should have known I could never hold her
I don't care what anyone thinks
Hope doesn't float and hearts don't sink
To the bottom of the muddy Brazos river

Bridge:
The red dirt on the river's shore
Saw a man unsure what he was walking for
Out of luck, out of line
Out of excuses, out of his mind

Verse 3:
Too much time to dwell on the past
Leaves a hunger for the truth and a pain to last
Was there any love in those eyes of hers?
Maybe I'll walk and maybe I'll run
Maybe I'll fall from a smoking gun
And the weight of wanting to forgive her
To the bottom of the muddy Brazos river
