about

Debut single off of Aly Tadros's junior release, Hungry Ghost (Releases Dec 2, 2016).

lyrics

Left my home on the Rio Grande
in a sleepy desert town
Seventeen, a pitcher full of dreams
and the thirst to wash it down

Some people build up picket fences
The certainty of stone
Some people got driftwood
riddled in their bones

I,
I collect rivers

Broke my heart on the Delta Blues
up and down the Mississippi
2AM in a smoky bar
slingin’ songs at anyone listening, well

Some people drown themselves in lovers
The comfort of a drink
Some people just keep moving,
They’ll swim before they sink

I,
I collect rivers (x2)

I drank tea by the Bosphorus
Floated the Nile
Met a good man on the Hudson,
He asked for a child

I said I can't sit still
I don't want to leave
Waiting on the waters
To wash over me

I can’t sit still, no
I don’t want to leave
Waiting on the waters
To lead me to the sea (waiting on the waters to wash over me x4)
Lead me to the sea

I, (x3)
I collect
rivers
