river's edge

river's edge

so quiet and full of potential

with weeping trees and just enough nightfall

to cover up the strays

i can hear boats in the distance

making saviours out of ordinary people

now they sing in a symphony of keepers

and they hail in the harmony of saviours

you've got to live

live

live

and love

love

love

whether you like it or not

i will love you

now the wind picks up swiftly and suddenly

and it's breathing as if from a mouth

and the edges are lungs that are heaving

and it's breathing now without my help

and we turn against the darkness with intention

river's edge

you're all that i have

and a night filled with promises

and just enough nightfall to cover up the strays

now the river's like horses unbroken

and it really is time for a change

and it moves and connects with a uniform

and the bodies return to their makers

and it's good and it's true

let it wash over you

untethered and without a reason
