Rivers

So there is longing in the shoulders now
There was a wildness in that time
Can we now say
That sweet were the hours
But hours to find?
There was no way to live in simple dreams
There was no straightness to our line
Gravel in hand
Darling, we're moving the mountains around

This is the fire of leaving pains
When the love is gone, but the need remains
Into the shivering cold o day
When the house is gone, but the street remain
Oh I guess it's true
I guess these rivers never knew

And then so finally the night time comes
There is no lot to cast a blame
No need to hide
No fear who I'd meet
In some grocery lane

This is the fire of leaving pains
When the love is gone, but the need remains
Into the shivering cold of day
When the house is gone, but the street remain
Oh I guess it's true
I guess these rivers never knew

And I'll sing of seasons till you turn me off
I see their way of letting go
They'll be the same
And whatever changes
These changes I know

This is the fire of leaving pains
When we're not that strong and the need remains
Into the shivering lights of day
When the house is gone, but the fields remain
Oh I guess it's true
I guess these rivers never knew
