Riverswim Lyrics
River run
And brother row;
And the ease between us
The calm below
The rings, these twisted things, cast off in the arms of those long low-aways
The lights, the river's striped, and will we not belong to those long low laze
Surround us
Oh, drown us
A wailing whine, a Wendigo
A waltzing night
Oh bending road
Me, I couldn't sing, caught in some long unseen long it all the sun
Here, we riverswim, wash away the lime that seems to all in all been found
Surround me
Oh, drown me
And brother row;
And the ease between us
The calm below
The rings, these twisted things, cast off in the arms of those long low-aways
The lights, the river's striped, and will we not belong to those long low laze
Surround us
Oh, drown us
A waltzing night
Oh bending road
Me, I couldn't sing, caught in some long unseen long it all the sun
Here, we riverswim, wash away the lime that seems to all in all been found
Surround me
Oh, drown me
