Oxbow Lakes

(альбом: Hill Of Beans - 2019)

Well, you say we should go round things that interrupt our flow
But when I see a short cut it is there I want to go
Patiently you wail for me until we're both delayed
And you wonder would I ever see
That's how oxbow lakes are made

Well, you know how this will tire me as you wait round the bend
You say you still admire me but you want it all to end
And you tell me there's no hurry by reason I'm not swayed
And I give you cause to worry
That's how oxbow lakes are made

Now I could not see it coming as I punched on ahead
Till the walls collapsed around me and a glance filled me with dread
That I had left you stranded and a dreadful price was paid
As out to sea I headed
And an oxbow lake was made

Thai's some reward for patience and faithful loyalty
As the river burst its banks and it washed all over me
Through the new cut channel in a thundering cascade
Now I'm lost in a pounding ocean
While an oxbow lake was made
