Joel Havea - Warm River Lyrics

She dumped his cold body in a warm river
Rolled off the back of her old pickup
She really wanted company but he just really wanted to go
She lived at the lonely bend of a river
Warm by name but a cold deep within her
He really just wanted to go and she said "no"!

He was a simple vagabond
Satisfied to roam the streets, on which he slept on
Drifting through a life
Never really truly present, bottle was his vice
But still he was a living, feeling man
Somebody who was just dealt a bad hand

She lived at the lonely bend of a river
Warm by name but a cold deep within her
He really just wanted to go and she said "no"!

She always looked outside
Wondered why no one ever dropped in to say hi
Then on that fateful night, she saw him stumbling down the street, trying to hitch a ride
So she went and asked him, to come in
If he wouldn't like a beer, or maybe gin?

So they had a drink or 10
Talked about the weather and their lives from way back when
But he felt something was wrong
He said politely,
"Think it's time that I be moving on"
She snapped
"Oh no you won't be leaving
I'm always by myself nobody cares if I am breathing
How dare you disrespect me like this!"
She was blindly seething
And before he had a chance to see it
She picked up the bread knife
And took away his...
