Matthew Ryan

Matthew Ryan (born Ryan Webb; November 7, 1971) is an American alternative country singer-songwriter. Ryan has also collaborated with Neilson Hubbard to form the band Strays Don't Sleep. Ryan's voice has been described as a "hushed rasp, with words catching like vows destined to be broken - one of modern music's most potent whispers." Like the Jayhawks, Son Volt and other artists from the late 1990s alternative country scene, Ryan has a dedicated following but only limited commercial success. more »

Rivers of whiskey 
Rivers of girls 
Rivers like ravens 
Rivers of pearls

Watch me boys for I could fade tonight 
The shore is dark and void of any light

Rivers of loudmouths 
Rivers of work 
Rivers of boredom 
And rivers of hurt

Watch me boys for I could fall tonight
The shore is dark and void of any light
We scrapped and then we fought with all our might 
The shore is dark and void of any light

Her eyes are like two sparrows 
Gone and faraway
And all I want is what she was 
Before I said what young sailors say 
Rivers full of smoke
And rivers full of grins 
Now rivers are full of rooms 
That I'm no longer in

Watch me float and fade to black tonight 
The shores are dark and void of any light
I tumbled through the haunt and fell inside 
This river too is dark and void of light

Rivers full of coils
And rivers full of strings
Rivers are such mysterious
And ruthless and seductive things 
Her eyes got like two sparrows 
So dark and faraway
And all I want is what she was
All I want is what she was
All I want is what she was
Now all I want is what she was 
Before I said what young sailors say

It goes like this 
The end's a kiss 
Summer grins 
At winter's fist 
And as you drift 
All you'll get is 
Hallelujah

I threw it all away
I threw it all away
Don't throw it all away 
On rivers that don't exist

It goes like this 
The end's a kiss 
Summer grins 
At winter's fist 
And as you drift 
All you'll get is 
Hallelujah
