Great Lake Swimmers - River's Edge lyrics

rate me

River's edge so quiet and full of potential

With weeping trees and just enough nightfall

To cover up the strays

I can hear boats in the distance

Making saviours out of ordinary people

Now they sing in a symphony of keepers

And they hail in the harmony of saviours

You've got to live live live and love love love

Whether you like it or not I will love you

Now the wind picks up swiftly and suddenly

And it's breathing as if from a mouth

And the edges are lungs that are heaving

And it's breathing now without my help

And we turn against the darkness with intention

River's edge you're all that I have

And a night filled with promises

And just enough nightfall to cover up the strays

Now the river's like horses unbroken

And it really is time for a change

And it moves and connects with a uniform

And the bodies return to their makers

And it's good and it's true let it wash over you

Untethered and without a reason
