Shakin’ Bones lyrics

[Verse 1]
Through swampy fog, their regrets call me
Step in my boat, folks call her "Joli"
Payin' this Ferryman to shepherd them upstream
To a past that never was, and a future that can't be

[Chorus]
Follow the river, follow the river
And head toward the slumberin' city

[Verse 2]
If you're at the Crossroads, then you can't turn back
Don't Let Roux deceive ya, it's not all white and black
Watch out for that dreaming town where many souls have drowned
And beware of Kooshma, and his whispers to ya

[Chorus]
Oh, follow the river, follow the river
And hеad toward that day-dreamin' city
Follow the river, mh, follow thе river, mh, mh-mh-mh
Follow the river, child, you're gon' have to stay a while

[Verse 3]
While you're at the Crossroads, better not turn your back
To erase your regret, it's not all white and black
Is it lies or is it truth? No one is tellin'
Bitter or sweet now, what's more compelling?
[Chorus]
Oh, follow the river, follow the river
And find the Town on the Tapestry
Follow the river, mh, follow the river, mh, mh-mh-mh
Follow the river, child, you're gon' have to stay a while
Follow the river, mh, follow the river, mh, mh-mh-mh
Follow the river, child, you're gonna have to stay alive

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
Follow the river, mh, follow the river, mh, mh-mh-mh
Follow the river, child, you're gonna have to stay alive
