lyrics

Her dreams never came true
She stopped drinking, whiskey and beers
Her friends didn’t call her anymore
She wanted to just disappear

In the shower and on the subway
She would plan how to get away
Maybe die like that guy in a bar fight way down Mexico way

I’ll follow her down
I can’t stick around
I’ll follow her down by the east river
I’ll wade in the water, and I’ll be delivered

When her old man called she told him that she was all right
But then she got a text from her ex later that night
And sitting on her bed she wrote a note
“Don’t follow me down” on her body she wrote

But I’ll follow her down
I can’t stick around
I’ll follow her down by the east river
I’ll wade in the water, and I’ll be delivered

She should have driven down to the Sun Belt
Out to the desert where her beloved dwelled
Just to talk to him, to tell him how she felt
But instead on the banks of the river she knelt

And I’ll follow her down
I can’t stick around
I wanna go with her
Down to the river

I’ll wash away my sins in the water, in my tears
And I’ll be born again in between the piers

Down by the east river
I’ll wade in the water and I’ll be delivered
