The secrets of a life worth living
Are refined by desires and regrets
They settle inside
The earnest mind like
Sediment collects in the river bed
My love she
Waits upstream
Oh so patiently for me
And we’ll float down to the bottom of the deltas mouth
And make our escape across the sea
Oh no it’s such a shame
When things get lost along the way
She calls me to the water
In the grasp of high tide
Oh no oh I stay longer each time
And you say, babe oh, you left something behind
But I don’t mind, no I don’t mind
Well babe I got into something
Traded poisons with the ground
Oh and all of the people prayed for retrograde
But the river runs a long way down
Oh the river runs a long way down
But she calls me to the water
In the grasp of high tide
Oh no oh I stay longer each time
And you say, babe oh, you left something behind
But I don’t mind, no I don’t mind oh
I don’t mind
She’s golden like the water
When the canopy is gone
As the sun reflects the message that
They’re never moving on from
The place that is their home
The place they’ve come to love
In the face of new beginnings
And the damage that I’ve done
