Sun Kil Moon - Like The River lyrics

rate me

They're floating downstream like swans in the sun

Surrounded by friends and lovers

We watched on with smiles beaming so bright

The river behind them, the fading daylight

I knew her back from when she was young

Those days poured out faster than rounds from a gun

Scattered like shells and lost to the sea

Like the river, the days move rapidly

I have all these memories, I don't know what for

I have them and I can't help it

Some overflow and spill out like waves

Some I will harbour for all of my days

I burned liked wood, you grew like a flower

Rising toward your magical hour

I was not yours and you were not mine

Our true love finds us when it is time

We drove back downtown, wasted and spent

Down highways that I remember

Happy for her and happy for me

The old times and the new to uncover

I laid down my head, in love with the night

With my new love beside me, her radiant light

I faded away, along with my thoughts

Like a dream and I trail off mystically
