brown bird - black rivers lyrics
Loading...
on the river that runs through me
there’s a boat headed out to sea
and the helmsman’s losing steam
more each day
and the engineer just sleeps
as the coal burns more violently
lord help me, i can’t sweep the ash away
a cursed river born of a mighty flood
by the hand of the almighty
it still teems with the blood of a son
that i drank into me
and like a forest obscured by trees
my rivers fill up with boats like these
and all these vessels in my veins
float like leaves down vines of black rivers
and love’s a mystery
like god’s a mystery
my heart is valve and ventricle and flesh
i know not what it means
just that it burns in me
and tonight it’s not worth venturing a guess
