st. lawrence river
Singer:david usher
see there it's crushing the final impression
where words fell like water
unearth all the changes that never did matter
i think it's beginning to freeze here
caught in the rage and the fire of things
all the brightness that burns me
i'm fumbling through like a child in the dark
i am shocked by the colour the glorious weight of your skin
and i never thought we'd make it back so soon
but i knew you'd be your own destroyer
and i always thought i'd make it up to you
could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness
held in the face of the things that i don't understand
intellectualize over and over
this helplessness suits us
funny how quiet has slipped to our corners
you are watching breathing and baiting
wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
for some simple signal to creep cross your conscience
uncover redemption and oh did i mention
i carried you down to the st. lawrence river
the banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here
and i never thought you'd get me back so soon
but it's only if my own destroyer
and i always knew i'd make it up to you
i saw on your face such a curious grin
i was desperate to hold you again
but you're sinking so deep in the water
outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what i wanted
and i never thought you'd make it up so soon
but i always knew you're my destroyer
and i always thought i'd make it up to you
