The Road to the River

from From the Noise by Levi Stevenson

lyrics

The road to river
Sure wish that I could
Just hear it running
Down through the woods
Luck ain't no liar
It just don't care
Just tries to tell you
Life ain't fair
Feel like I'm sleeping
On a bed of bones
I'm always dreaming
About being alone
Maybe forever
Just for a day
Night has its reasons
When it wants to stay
To me the real deal
It's not what I feel
It's not what I say
Not what I play
Everything I know
Don't matter no more
Everything's changed
Since the first came
And I'm never ever ever
Gonna get home
What I don't know
That ain't what hurts
Gonna find out
For better or worse
Can it be done
Without paying a price
Just this one time
Get to live twice

I'm down at the river
Like to get in
Somewhere far downstream
Gonna get out again
I know I'm supposed to keep myself dry
Maybe feel better
On the other side
