Lauren Lucas Riverstone
She went down to the water's edge
Just as the sun was fallin' down
Unzipped her Sunday dress
And watched it hit the ground.
Whiskey bottle in her right hand
And a bible in her left
Hoping either one might help her
To live with herself.
She said...
Come save me, come save me
Wash away my sins,
I just couldn't let him do
What he did, to me again.
I might sink straight down to the bottom
I might make it to the other side,
Oh, Lord please, send angels if you got 'em
I'm skippin' like a riverstone
Where I land is still unknown..
She shook the hand of the preacher
Standin' outside of the church
He said the part about livin' with the devil
Really spoke to her.
Walkin' by at half past one
When she walked through the door,
The church bells were ringin' out
When his body hit the floor
She said...
Forgive me, forgive me
For what I've done wrong
But he had his way
And made me pay, for way too long.
I might sink, straight down to the bottom
I might make it to the other side
Oh, Lord please, send angels if you got 'em
I'm skippin' like a riverstone
Where I land is still unknown..
I might sink, straight down to the bottom,
I might make it to the other side...
Oh, Lord please, send angels if you got 'em
I'm skippin' like a riverstone
Where I land is still unknown..
I'm skippin' like a riverstone,
And I'm leavin' tonight
I'll be gone.
I'll be gone,
Yeah...
