Fleet Foxes - Drops in the River lyrics

Crown of leaves
High in the window on a gold morning
Young today, old as a railroad tomorrow
Days are just drops in the
River to be lost always
Only you, only you, you know

Years ago
Birds of a feather would arrive nightly
Gone you know
Held to another like clutched ivy
On the shore
Speak to the ocean and receive silence
Only you, only you, you know

Here as the caves of my memory fade
I'll hold to the first one
I wouldn't turn to another, you say
On the long night we've made let it go

Only you, only you, you know
Only you, only you, you know

Here as the caves of my memory fade
I'll hold to the first one
I wouldn't turn to another, you say
On the long night we've made let it go

Speak to me slow, my dear
No ghost, of course, in here
Pleased to be lonesome, quiet, and clear
All is alone in here
