[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
White River
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
And sent a shiver
Round my neck
White River
Wet golden shrine
You sold my mind
And tried to kill me
Sent a shiver down my spine
[Verse 2]
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 dive
I want your gold
But you, you want my life
You want my life
[Chorus]
White River
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
And sent a shiver
Round my neck
White River
Wet golden shrine
You sold my mind
And tried to kill me
Sent a shiver down my spine
[Post-Chorus]
You tried to drown me
Never mine 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
[Bridge]
Your kingdom come
We kneeling on the planks
All the trees bend over on the banks
Gives me a shiver
[Chorus]
White River
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
And sent a shiver
Round my neck
White River
Wet golden shrine
You sold my mind
And tried to kill me
Sent a shiver down my spine
[Post-Chorus]
You tried to hold me
With million fins
And tried to eat me
Bite off my sins
You tried to drown me
Never mine to swim
And tried to kill me
Set a shiver on my skin
