Jessica Pratt Mother Big River Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She has followed you from
Where dark water and fortune runs
When your sails come back together
She will follow you wherever you go

[Pre-Chorus]
But still, rivers run
And running water runs so slow
Had a picture of my mother
But even mother doesn't know

[Chorus]
Where big rivers flow
And someday I'd like to know

[Verse 2]
He has followed you down
'Neath starlight in bitter towns
Hard weeds cling to roads that
You ride on your way back home

[Pre-Chorus]
But still, rivers run
And running water runs so slow
Had a picture of my father
But even father doesn't know

[Chorus]
Where big rivers flow
And someday I'd like to know
