St Lawrence River Lyrics
beautiful song. to me, it's about someone who has died and is being carried to the st. lawrence river... the place where the deceased wanted to be the most. the narrator and the deceased person, while alive, had problems which were never mended... but the song depicts the deceased's utmost wish: to return to this place... and this is the narrator's way of making amends... and he/she will stay with the body, even if it means freezing.... such a moving song.
After the last solid by morning comes
"what I wanted winter by morning" and then the end.
I love this song, his voice and the lyrics are a brilliant combination to die for. It's such a shame he'd not better known.
"i saw on your face such a curious grin as i let go your hand i was desperate to hold you again"
I will always remember this song because a family friend passed on and my sister loved David Usher during his little songs era. This song makes me think of our friend every time I hear it. I will always remember you, you were such a kind soul... always thought about my stay and how you could accomodate me. Thanks for setting up the nintendo for me ! Love
david usher will kick your ass
This song is amazing. Just look at these lyrics! They're absolutely beautiful.
great song... the first i learnt on my guitar
Such a nice song...if you like this one, listen to Mandolin by Moist (same singer)..kind of similar song with what its about.
I agree with your comments...he brings her to the river..even though time has passed, the banks are dirty, and its now winter (an unlikely time for people to be at a lake or a trip ideally)..like as though their unmended issues have frozen and no longer matter, as they are now together and he makes it up to her in the end...
