Lights Up the River Lyrics

Sweet magnolia blooms
In the shade of a pink mimosa tree
From the shadow of the moon
Dusting off the bible, marking the page
Of her favorite verse to pray

Please forgive me, for the things I've done
An unmarked grave and a loaded gun

Lights up the river, lights up the river
Up on the horizon, shining like diamonds
[Silently shining]
Lights up the river, lights up the river
Silently waiting, be your salvation
She's a woman scorned

Tempted by forbidden fruit
Following the footsteps
Through the dust and the dew
That lead to antebellum blues and a neon sign
That's covered in kudzu like memories of you

Please forgive me, for the things I've done
An unmarked grave and a loaded gun

Lights up the river, lights up the river
Up on the horizon, shining like diamonds
Lights up the river, lights up the river
Silently waiting, be your salvation
She's a woman scorned
