Martha Wainwright - Niger River Lyrics

What, what would I do
If I can't have you?
If I can't have you
What, what
If I can't have you?

Here, here I am
On this black river
Dotted in time
And the mangroves
They grow like our love

Stronger than the time spent
Down in the valley below

Take, take my hand
And push to the side
And come inside
And your hair it grows
Around your ears

Like a mysterious pose
That's music to my [Incomprehensible] ears
That will follow the years
Down to the valley below

Why did you come in the night?
You hardly like me
You like people strong and free
That's not like me

I am caged in chains
Of my own sad nature
How do you changes so fast?
Like my face in the looking glass
I hardly recognize it
