For two days the river keeps you down [00:00:07]
Then you rise to the light without a sound [00:00:14]
Past the playgrounds and empty switching yards [00:00:21]
The turtles eat the skin from your eyes, so they lay open to the stars [00:00:27]
Your clothes give way to the current and river stone [00:00:36]
'Till every trace of who you ever were is gone [00:00:42]
And the things of the earth they make their claim [00:00:49]
That the things of heaven may do the same [00:00:56]
Goodbye, my darling, for your love I give God thanks, [00:01:05]
Meet me on the Matamoros [00:01:11]
Meet me on the Matamoros [00:01:16]
Meet me on the Matamoros banks [00:01:18]
Over rivers of stone and ancient ocean beds [00:01:24]
I walk on sandals of twine and tire tread [00:01:31]
My pockets full of dust, my mouth filled with cool stone [00:01:38]
The pale moon opens the earth to its bones [00:01:45]
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks [00:01:53]
The touch of your loving fingertips [00:02:06]
Meet me on the Matamoros [00:02:13]
Meet me on the Matamoros [00:02:18]
Meet me on the Matamoros banks [00:02:20]
Your sweet memory comes on the evenin' wind [00:02:34]
I sleep and dream of holding you in my arms again [00:02:41]
The lights of Brownsville, across the river shine [00:02:49]
A shout rings out and into the silty red river I dive [00:02:56]
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks [00:03:05]
A touch of your loving fingertips [00:03:19]
Meet me on the Matamoros [00:03:26]
Meet me on the Matamoros [00:03:29]
Meet me on the Matamoros banks [00:03:32]
Meet me on the Matamoros [00:03:40]
Meet me on the Matamoros [00:03:45]
Meet me on the Matamoros banks [00:03:48]
