about

“Deep River” is a haunting ballad that delves into the depths of remorse and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a solitary figure, marked by a relentless pursuit for redemption and closure. The song invites listeners to embark on a journey through regret and solitude, culminating in the cathartic embrace of coming home at the end of life.

lyrics

Give me my horse and throw me my hat.
See, I ain’t never coming back.
These beat old boots and my 30-aught rifle.
You call it ... You call it regret; I call it; I call it ...

I call it my reprisal for the dead.
And you can find me at the bottom of the river.
Wasting away, I’m coming home.

I’ve traveled so far I’ve lost my path.
Still not worth that shot in my head.
Skin so wet it fell from my bones.
You call it ... You call it pain; I call it; call it ...

I call it all alone from the dead.
And you can find me at the bottom of the river.
Wasting away, I’m coming home.
Yeah, I'm coming home.

I'm coming home.
I'm coming home ... tonight.
I'm coming home ... tonight.
I'm coming home ... tonight.
