Riverbank

(album: Trust - 2022)

Thirty-three, I've been on the edge finding
Where my head fits in, all the lives I've led
Twenty-two, never left the island
So convinced I'd be what I would become

Twenty years sat on the brink, I am a riverbank
Oh, Lord, I'm waiting for you
Twenty years, I've written my lines, so long I'm mummified
And the river that I'm holding, never lost my vision
But time is on my side, time is on my side

Forty-one, I've done things I'd murder for
Raising boys is a pedal to the floor
When I was twelve, I was flexing muscle in
Dirty mirrors and you were being formed

Twenty years sat on the brink, I am a riverbank
Oh, Lord, I'm waiting for you
Twenty years, I've written my lines, so long I'm mummified
And the river that I'm holding, never lost my vision
But time is on my side, time is on my side

Oh, Lord

Sixty-four, will I still be waitin'?
Combed my hair back to try to stop the past
You'll be gone, you'll be living large in three
City's far away, I will be in you

Twenty years sat on the brink, I am a riverbank
Oh, Lord, I'm waiting for you
Twenty years, I've written my lines, so long I'm mummified
And the river that's still holding, never lost my vision
But time is on my side, time is on my side
Oh, Lord
