The Oh Hellos - New River lyrics
[The Oh Hellos - New River lyrics]
It took forever and a day for the
Canyons and coasts to erode away
By the weight of the ocean's
Cyclical motion they swayed
And though the eons may pass as slow
As the sands of an hourglass
Every grain that we've counted claims that
Even the mountains can change
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
I know the winds from the south have the
Waves riled up like a hungry mouth
And your stomach goes hollow at the thought
That it could swallow you whole
Well, it'll rain for forty days and nights
And nothing you do can slow the rising tides
But the river takes her shape
From every tempest she abides
And like her, you'll be made new again
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Canyons and coasts to erode away
By the weight of the ocean's
Cyclical motion they swayed
And though the eons may pass as slow
As the sands of an hourglass
Every grain that we've counted claims that
Even the mountains can change
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
I know the winds from the south have the
Waves riled up like a hungry mouth
And your stomach goes hollow at the thought
That it could swallow you whole
Well, it'll rain for forty days and nights
And nothing you do can slow the rising tides
But the river takes her shape
From every tempest she abides
And like her, you'll be made new again
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
Let it come down, let it come down
Let it make in you a new river
