I’ll be the river
Hold you when the ice is thin
I’ll be the river
Drink me in
Me down here
And you up on the bridge
Filling me up with your tears

For you I’ll grow a song
With a feathered quill that flows
And rides the river and takes you along

Sometimes I’m blind
Even when I try to see
Sometimes I’m blind
Sometimes when you’re looking
For an ending to the frost
Sometimes when you find it
You ain’t looking you’re lost
You ain’t looking you’re lost
You ain’t looking babe, you’re lost
You’re lost, you’re lost, you’re lost

Still, I’ll be the river
Hold you when the ice is thin
I’ll be the river
Drink me in

Our growing lights are growing sites
That eat at the strings and feed the night
The earth she buries and carries
The earth she buries and carries
The earth she buries and carries
Am I coming or going around?
Am I coming or going around?
Am I going or coming?
Am I coming or going?
Am I going or coming?
