From The Rivers To The Ocean Lyrics - Artist : Bill Callahan
When, when you were blind
You touched things for their shape Have faith in wordless knowledge Have faith in wordless knowledge Well, I can tell you about the river Or we could just get in The body the rain made of our days before we knew We are swimming in the rivers Of the rains of our days before we knew And it's hard to explain What I was doing or thinking before you I guess I was a decent man holding on Following the river from above like a bird With faith in wordless knowledge And the fallen stars they flew to And I knew they were sewing something Something well-made made for me and you We are swimming in the rivers Of the rains of our days before we knew And it's hard to explain What I was doing or thinking before you The city was a fist, I lived on its wrist And I took myself a good long look around And the river grew higher and wider Deeper and darker as I was closing in And it led me to you which led me to say, "Let's get *in*" We got in the river and it broked us Made us think of sex between us At a time in our lives old before we knew We were swimming in the rivers Of the rains of our days before we knew And it's hard to explain What I was doing or thinking before you And that beautiful thing you said lying in bed About all the things I could think of at the end of the day But of all the places my mind could go It always comes loping back to you We are swimming in the rivers Of the rains of our days before we knew So meet me in the ocean and we'll ride the waves From the rivers to the ocean Each wave a lunging panther Sharp-eyed and true We are swimming in the rivers Of the rains of our days before we knew And it's hard to explain What I was doing or thinking before you Have faith in wordless knowledge Have faith in wordless knowledge |
