The River Jim

(アルバム： A Crisis Of Faith At The Death Of A Loved One - 2023)

Missing you comes in light waves slow and steady
Like sand through an hourglass
Weeks come and go more like days and already you feel like a ghost from my past

But I'm sketching out gates in my head when I talk on the phone to your Lin
I remember the weight of your strength each time Richie is pulling me in, me in

Run like a river through all of us, Jim
Oh, run like a river through all of us, Jim

Lately, I feel like rain on the window
Right there but not quite in the room
Evelyn tries in vain to get in
But I push her away, I do

I've got all of your pride and impatience and most of your ignorance, too
Not enough of your wild motivation
I hope that it comes to me soon
Say it will, and

Run like a river through all of us, Jim
Oh, run like a river through all of us, Jim

I say your name to the dog
She's still convinced you're alive
None of my prayers got to god
And we turn to dust when we die
And heaven and hell are a lie that we tell when our lights start to dim

Run like a river through all of us, Jim
