Limited to 1000 copies worldwide.

Bert Jansch - River Running

In the silence in the dead of the night
I’m paralysed with the fear of falling under
and how I try to deflect, to defy, to deny
this fear of falling under

There’s a dark dog and it’s staring through the window HELP!
It’s eyes are locked, it’s teeth are bared and it’s craving blood.

Oh let it take me,
Oh how I’m broken in two.

I’m submerged underwater as the white waves thunder
over me if only I could breath beneath the surface.

It’s the silence that overbears, cuts like a knife and I’m petrified
that no-one heeds the warnings
and how I fight to defy, to deflect, to deny
this fear of falling under

It’s a dark day, it’s black day and I’m falling, I’m falling HELP!
I’m crawling through the pouring rain, I’m fading am I in hell.

Oh let it take me,
Oh how I’m broken in two.

I’m submerged underwater as the white waves thunder
over me if only i could breath beneath the surface.
