Kevin Costner and Modern West - Red River -

Red River

It was the dead of night in late July
Thunder cracked made them angels cry
Water came washed away
All my fears had the final say

I took my love to the water’s edge
Took my love to the final pledge
She said sorry son I had enough
Livin’ on a prayer’s just livin’ bad luck

That Red River
Took my love away from me
Took my love far away from me

She just turned leaned and walked away
Into the night into that water’s play
She got caught up in that river’s flow
Took her downtown and it never let go

That Red River
Took my love away from me
Took my love far away from me

You talk about love like it’s a lasting thing
Golden promises a wedding ring
We swore love in a lasting vow
But that just don’t seem to matter much now
