The River

(album: Seattle Songs - 2017)

I move in every direction
I want to leave this hell
Waiting for the intersection
I want to know myself

Where will the river turn
Where will the river turn
Where will the river turn
Where will the river turn

We were told that it's coming
But we're floating in thin air
And we're searching for something
When we know it isn't there
And we're free to begin again
But we run like we don't care
Sailing on this river to nowhere

I'm broke in a wild abandon
Set out on a living spree
I leave when my roots get planted
No branches to burden me

Where will the river turn
Where will the river turn
Where will the river turn
Where, where?

We were told that it's coming
But we're floating in thin air
And we're searching for something
When we know it isn't there
And we're free to begin again
But we run like we don't care
Sailing on this river to nowhere

And I know it could be
That someone somewhere out there is watching me
But I'm lost in my faith
So why wouldn't I be lost in this terrain

Upstream like a salmon spawning
Then south like a winter flock
My nest is a paper awning
Waiting to clot to rock

Where will the river turn
Where will the river turn
Where will the river turn
Where will the river turn
