Moving to the North Umpqua River was spellbinding for me. And to begin hearing stories of how deceptively dangerous these waters truly are enthralled me all the more.

lyrics

A ways up the road in the West Cascades
there are two bodies forever struggling
in an icy vein rolling down through the haze
You can hear her whisper beckoning

- change in elevation gave me more than I bargained for
- she always gives it up,
- but then sometimes she takes a little bit more

- You know where to find me (down by the river so cold)
- in that dark North Umpqua River (down by the water)
- Oh won't you please lay me down by the river so cold

Twisting emerald serpentine, seductive and lethal,
and she's hungry to take your heat away
If you look into her midnight eyes, I will assure you
that you wouldn't want it any other way

and the...
- change in elevation gave me more than I bargained for
- she always gives it up,
- but then sometimes she takes a little but more

- You know where to find me (down by the river so cold)
- in that dark North Umpqua River (down by the water)
- Oh won't you please lay me down by the river so cold

(Bridge; solo)
(repeat chorus x2)
