lyrics

If the river ceased today
I know I'd drown there, anyway
Erased in grace, separated from spring
Or anything

Like a hushed wind blowing wishfully
Another sigh for Naomi
Her face, it's warm and her feelings are bare
Oh, anywhere

All winter long, sang siren songs
As springtime falls, lotus recalls

Now to the river in its sunken place
I listen softly for a trace

If the sentinel sleeps in the room next to mine
Could he tell me who screams wall to wall, across the line
And when the morning light breaks and I wince at the sun
Do I rise up blind faith, is the day already done

Sifting through starlight, buying time to lay
Pretending we're not strangers, anyway
