One Frozen River
John Darnielle
[Verse 1]
When my old friend came crawling up the hill
Broken and bloodied
Carrying her hair in clumps in her hands
I let her right on in, let her right in
[Verse 2]
When she stood at the kitchen window
Staring out at the countryside
And then she looked my way
I let her right on in, let her right in
[Verse 3]
And when she was stronger than she'd been before
I opened the front door
And then I opened the back door
And the sunlight poured in, yeah
