danny schmidt - esmee by the river lyrics

esmee by the river, a face like a blue jay
a kiss for a shiver was a pretty brave trade
knowing too little, but hands know their own way
and hoping that the river might just purr a bit more
hoping that the river might just purr some more
now it’s been ‘most a year and i still sometimes wonder
did i step too far or run too soon?
til you chased both our fears off with rose-petal thunder
and lit up the river with a heart-sized moon

esmee by the river, a face like a rainbow
b-tterflies growling, but what does the gut know?
bourboned and prowling for faces or footholds
but i could see through your eyes like the storm-pane was gone
i could see through your eyes like the storm-pane’s gone
and i knew i was moved that you stood so open
and i saw i was drawn to peek inside
was the gl-ss so pure or the window broken?
but the river reached up and it carried me on

esmee by the river, a face like a memory
patient and p-ssed like a black man’s song
i carved you a poem from rosewood and ebony
and threw it to the river to carry along
i hope when she brings it all slinky and sly
that you’ll slide on in it and taste of its verse
you ask will i write you, and of course the reply
is that rivers of honey they sing “honey, of course”
rivers of honey they sing “honey, of course”
