lyrics

RIVER ALONE

No sound of a dog bark
Only distant hum of cars and wind
And dry leaves falling

Where the light falls slant
She holds the river in her hands
November hits the ground
A blanket of yellow and brown

The rushing of the water drowns out
Birdsong and highway sound
She’s wringing out sun-drenched hair

Find her by the river alone
She turns to water
He turns to stone
Stars above her
How they shone
Watching over

The current pulls at her bare feet and her legs
Up come a cold breeze
Arched trees bend in closer watching

She let the wind run his fingers through her hair
Let the sun touch her skin
Young brown golden

He found her by the river alone
She turned to water
He turned to stone
Stars above her
How they shone
Watching over

Driving rain at night holds its breath under bridges
The road hisses
As he slows to leave the highway

Streetlights shine on power lines
Rain hangs like diamonds
A necklace for a heavy sky on a windless night

He found her by the river alone
She turned to water
He turned to stone
Stars above her
How they shone
Watching over

Blue smoke in the backyard
Snaking high above the barn
Cold blanket of stars pulls in closer
The colder they are
