1.
The river is white It's tangled and dry But I still remember you here Swimming in the middle A red bird sings From the sycamore tree Some kind of eloquent echo I live in the middle The shadows and leaves unlock my heart Just like a key, like a key And bring you right back home to me All of the years I have spent here I have never wandered I live in the middle The way you sing unlocks my heart Just like a key, like a key And brings you right back home to me
2.
The spirit is empty down on Carson Beach Where you once sang to me Ah Now that I'm looking to the endless sea The line that separates me I did not cast into the deep You say you'll do these great You think you're so strong But you're wrong If I wait a little while maybe all these things Will come back to me Ah Just to be your collapse What's the point in staying Everything you're saying was only true to you You say you'll do these great things You think you're so strong But you're wrong I thought you could do anything But I find with time I've changed my mind
3.
If only my feet could fall as fast as a heart does I would be so long gone But I'm stuck, stuck under your thumb I can't get up I can't get up, up I can't get up If only my eyes could see as high as a mountain Or wherever your heart's gone But I have fallen on the bank of this river I can't get up I can't get up, up I can't get up If only my heart could speak into this river And you'd drink me up I could be free of all these lonesome shivers I could give myself up (give myself up) We all go back to the river We will all come undone And there you will be, my love, with the faintest touch And I will give myself up Give myself up, up I will give myself up

Tired 02:34
The late hour setting in My eyes are wearing out again Maybe I should go But I don't know where should I turn I'm so tired The city seems much taller Maybe I'm just smaller Crushed by the weight of the globe Is it worth it I hope so Where should I go I'm so tired Why can't I say good night Where should I go I'm so tired
5.
Ticket stubs The movie was all of our love in one afternoon The sun has bent and faded them And just like us they're gone too soon I have to ask what's the use In finding these things I'll later lose The dress that I wore in June The way you walked free out of the room The note you wrote, the way it spoke And where it sits now, always in view I have to ask what's the use In finding these things I'll later lose I can't find you darling I can't find you darling I've been hearing things And I've been losing sleep Cause I can't find you darling
