lyrics

Dark River


I’ve sailed an open heart
Had my doubts flinch with shallow waters.
The air withered fast
Do the lavender quicks from your chewed down nails
mean something to you?

If you see me jump in the water
It doesn’t mean I don’t care for you anymore
It just means someone’s rapping at my ribs.

If the feeling hasn’t changed you
Then their waves could dull you
The water’s formed its course into yours

Curved the river’s bend
I love this place, like I love your pity
Braced for the sinking heart
I’ve protected your temperate, humble failings.

If you see me swim my last stroke
The inclination is to devote.
Pressure came from those in the deep dark

If you see me grieve for the Tendrils
The pollen tremoured and dandered,
The flood has tested patience on the barque.

The river is dark and the flow is a gift
The water you drink is the pen to your ink
I can write a country song too.

The air withered fast
Suppose the lavender quicks from your chewed down nails
mean nothing to you

There’s a swill of gin when it’s April
When the river’s a twee unstable
The fruits of flavour swelling from her tongue.

If you see me jump in the water
It doesn’t mean I don’t care for you anymore
It just means someone’s lapping like the foam
I claimed it from the river’s beryl stones.

The river is dark and the flow is a gift
The water you drink is the pen to your ink
I can write a country song too.
The river is dark and the flow is a gift
The water you drink is the pen to your ink
I can write a country song too.

I can flow a river.
