Red River Girl Songtext
von VanWyck

The sun rises
Over the isle of men
After the hurricane
The river rushes down
I guess I have been
Luckier than most
I got on to
The riverbank

The sun rises
Over the isle of men
And red is the river
After the hurricane
In this kingdom built
On bone and marrow
Of these children raised
On guilt and sorrow


The sun rises
Over the isle of men
And the preacher said
He′s done all he can
And to have faith
In the powers that be
But my heart is empty
My hope is skin deep

This freedom I bought with obedience
This beauty I paid for in kind
And when this day passes
What will it leave behind
Just another red river girl
A red river girl
A red river girl

This freedom I bought with obedience
This beauty I paid for in kind
And when this day passes
What will it leave behind
Nothing but a red river girl
A red river girl
A red river girl

Red river
Red river
Red river
Red river
