lyrics
on a seashore overgrown
i found some little rivers that had carved their way back home
but washed away before the maps were taught
who am i to name them, but who am i to not?
to deem a thing a river is to say it never ends
the mighty mississippi has no little fleeting friends
if i were to look, if i were to look with an older set of eyes
i would see more things as rivers, for i’d live to their demise
well i guess i’m not your lover, and i won’t be your wife
and i won’t be your widow eighty years into my life
so keep the whiskey steady, keep it flowing like the rhone
i’ll be drowning out the questions that are burning in my throat
to deem a thing a river is to say it never ends
to lose him as a lover means to lose him as a friend
if i were to look, if i were to look with an older set of eyes
i would see more things as lovers than as heroes in disguise
on a seashore overgrown
i dug a grave for every river that’s been doomed to be unknown
but perhaps the sand remembers all their shapes
perhaps it recollects your footprints as you turned and stormed away
to deem a thing a river is to say it never ends
the mighty mississippi has no little fleeting friends
and i would say i loved you in the best way i knew how
and if you were around to hear i’d say i love you now
if you were to look, if you were to look with an older set of eyes
could you forgive me?
