Tell me where the blood red river runs

From my back door to the rising sun

On again away till dawn never straight

And way too long I weighed the trees

And hills on scales the zig-zag lightning

And killer whales silver clouds reflected in deep

I don't measure up I don't measure up

Red water's boiling the wind will blow it

Halfway 'cross the ocean the wind will blow it

Red water's boiling the wind will blow it

Halfway 'cross the ocean the wind will blow it

I am a liar I rage on paper a piece of string could only do better

Been talking for years it's hard to remember

A piece of string could only do better

Tell me where the blood red river runs from my back door

To the rising sun on again away till dawn never straight

And way too long way too long way too long way too long

Red water's boiling the wind will blow it

Red water's boiling the wind will blow it

Red water's boiling the wind will blow it

Red water's boiling the wind will blow
