lyrics

Oh, the way the water runs
It warps the light of summer suns
It takes me down the river’s song
Is done

Comfort comes, but misery
It stays in bed with memories
And writes it name in diaries
Like love can save

Sickness sits in bones that beg for
Change the past can’t leave, it just
Remains and I just cannot turn the page
The edges fray

Take me somewhere I can be at peace
The ocean cools my calloused feet
And shelters me from sweltering heat
I need released

Mothered by the earth that turns on me
They tell me sleep is for the weak
So I’m alive, but I am meek
Inheriting

Oh, the way the water runs
It races me, I've never won
Time keeps marching to a drum
And I’m no one

Oh, the way the water runs
