In the Middle (acoustic)

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

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

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
