WHERE DOES THE RIVER GO
Listen
here

Verse 1: All I need is a long vacation from my day to day. I don’t want to physically move, but I still want to get away. I don’t need a singular, particular thing that I don’t own. I just want some solitude and to be left alone.

Verse 2:
I don’t need a cottage on a lake no one’s heard of before. I don’t need keys to unlock a million dollar door. All I need’s a temporary, momentary second to exhale and another just in case I forget to inhale.

Chorus:
And this old world’s moving fast. Much too fast for me. And these old bones of mine are weighed down by history and even reason and rhyme are running out of time.

Verse 3:
I don’t mean to sound antisocial; I don’t want to sound that way. I just want to experience the full measure of the day. I am just a solitary, tributary drawn to the river’s flow, but when I reach the end where does the river go.

Chorus:

Bridge:
And still the river won’t cease to be, with or without me.

Chorus:

Verse 4: Instrumental and fade.
