from the rivers to the ocean

when

when you were blind

you touched things for their shape

have faith in wordless knowledge

have faith in wordless knowledge

well

i can tell you about the river

or we could just get in

the body the rain made of our days before we knew

we are swimming in the rivers

of the rains of our days before we knew

and it's hard to explain

what i was doing or thinking before you

i guess i was a decent man holding on

following the river from above like a bird

with faith in wordless knowledge

and the fallen stars they flew to

and i knew they were sewing something

something well-made made for me and you

we are swimming in the rivers

of the rains of our days before we knew

and it's hard to explain

what i was doing or thinking before you

the city was a fist

i lived on its wrist

and i took myself a good long look around

and the river grew higher and wider

deeper and darker as i was closing in

and it led me to you which led me to say

let's get *in*"
