River Flow
Written June 22, 2012
He's come by river highway
He's come for all you know
Time is of the essence
Effervescent evanescence
Go and find the River Man
He's come to take me away
Softly, swiftly
He's come to take me today
Tell him all you can
To try to stall a man
Slowly fade away
Into all tomorrow's yesterdays
Better reach for the sky
As you're fixin' to die
And pray subtly to the lord
River lay down your sword
Go and find the River Man
He's come to take me away
Softly, swiftly
He's come to take me today
Drowning ever faster
Sinking into plaster
To cover painted dreams
That lie beneath my seams
Is that the way the river flows
To end undoing souls
From all they yearn to reach
Snapped when time beseeched
Go and find the River Man
He's come to take me away
Softly, swiftly
He's come to take me today
Oh have you heard the news
The river's been cut in two
So now it's time to choose
Down which path I will peruse
