we the chocolate sparrow - run the rivers lyrics

i run the rivers’ meandered course
as i follow lines out to distant shores
what giants shaved the heads of the forest floors
to form these greenest highways?

and i pump my legs and am propelled across
all these foreign lands and cities briefly lost
’til clark laid the road, now safe passage comes at no cost
to those polite and lucid

though i live my life in a haze of lore
well, i still buy my food at the grocery store
oh, sweetest tangerines and pluots gypsies scorеd
from mythic and distant islands

but i still call my mom from the deepest sticks
‘cause it’s hard to sleep whеn i’m cold and sick
and all of these fever dreams are of those domestic tricks
like all that chicken soup is

so i shine my light into the dark
and try to find my way home
but it’s not back at the start
because it’s shifted with growth
how could i go back now to how it was?
i’ve spent too long on the road
every person says the same thing, says
“my neighbor doesn’t know”
pretty girls break my heart in half
and it is such a thrill just to make ’em laugh
if i could bump into you or just graze your hands
by mistake, i’d do it

but i smell like i live on the road
man, when i’m settled down i’m gonna buy cologne
and cut my hair in style, but for now i’m here and so
why waste my time? it’s useless

here i wash my hair in the hottest springs
and when i jump in creeks, well, my clothes are cleaned
and i shake you hard and yell, “don’t fall asleep
or you’ll miss the silence!”

so i shine my light into the dark
and try to find my way home
it is not back at the start
because it’s shifted with growth
i think my root’s the kind that doesn’t tie down
or settle in stone
am i doomed to live a life untied
on the road?
i think my root’s the kind that tries to tie to people i knew
and that’s great in time, if i can find kinds that want to tie to me too
if i really do die out here i want to die the way i lived
send half me back to new york and go someplace you’ve never been
take the other half out with you and just toss it to the wind!
