Mirah - The River lyrics
[Mirah - The River lyrics]
Skies went dark
Got hard to see my body all stretched out
Territory to touch and make a
Path to lead you down
If I could hold the wildest winds
From blasting through my house
Then I could shine a beacon
Whether floats, fine, yes, or drowns
But there was no heat, it
All had been extinguished, snuffed right out
That was not the way I
Meant to disappoint the crowd
If you want my center, please
Don't slice so much around
And if you won't be having me
Watch the sorrow shake my mouth
And you don't want to hurt me
But, you don't want to need me
So how can you receive me?
Take a seat, don't grieving be
Let's settle this all out then one by one
I'll take these from the caverns of my mouth
The teeth who mash and teeth who
Make my tender muscles shout
A last goodbye to lose what once
I'd never known with out
And in my mind, the river runs
A straight line through the town
Never bending only sending stuff
From north to south
Under bridges fishes wear the
Currents like a gown
And I will swallow crookedness
Not let it drag me down
Afraid that if I cut you loose
You'd never again want me to
Embrace you in your solitude
Now in our eyes
We both still find the perfect place to rest
We'll unfold wings and fly a while
Before the next caress
The atmosphere will hold us dear
And teach us how it's best
To both feel free and satisfied
Our two souls will be blessed
Before my eyes
The fireflies they make the night sky low
Captured by the sounds of all the
Horns that the frogs blow
Through tears so thick
Like glue they drip and build a castle slow
I can see you saved for me
The sweetness that still glows
And though you're still my Hercules
Neptune's the one who's taken me
Come on, lay that strength upon my sea
Steady the string and snap it down
The dust gets in my face
A borderline to not cross, mind our manners
Keep in place
Still, I recall you once extended
Me with handsome haste
A rope to climb, to call all mine
To ascend you with grace
Now we will burn the fog away
Our hearts are like the sun
We moved it now, that's a way down
And though the change was rough
We'll find our lives are
Kinder without complications of
The fear in me that had taken
Seed and crowded out the love
I want you and I let you go
Though we can still walk on the same road
If we don't try it, we'll never know
Got hard to see my body all stretched out
Territory to touch and make a
Path to lead you down
If I could hold the wildest winds
From blasting through my house
Then I could shine a beacon
Whether floats, fine, yes, or drowns
But there was no heat, it
All had been extinguished, snuffed right out
That was not the way I
Meant to disappoint the crowd
If you want my center, please
Don't slice so much around
And if you won't be having me
Watch the sorrow shake my mouth
And you don't want to hurt me
But, you don't want to need me
So how can you receive me?
Take a seat, don't grieving be
Let's settle this all out then one by one
I'll take these from the caverns of my mouth
The teeth who mash and teeth who

A last goodbye to lose what once
