That Was The River |
These things you keep |
You better throw them away |
You wanna turn your back |
On your careless days |
Once you were tethered |
Now you are free |
Once you were tethered |
Now you are free |
Well that was the river! |
This is the sea |
Now if you’re coming undone |
Maybe been alone too long |
Or just you’ve been suffering from |
A few too many |
Plans that have gone wrong |
And you’re trying to remember |
How easy your life used to be |
And you’re trying to remember |
Well that was the river! |
This is the sea |
Now you say you’ve got trouble |
You say you’ve got pain |
You say you’ve got nothing left to believe in |
Nothing to hold on to |
Nothing but chains |
You’re trying to make sense |
Of something you just can’t see |
You’re trying to make sense |
And you know that you once held the key |
But that was the river! |
This is the sea |
Now I can see you wavering |
As you’re trying to decide |
You’ve got a war in your head |
And it’s tearing you up inside |
Forget all your schooling |
It won’t give you the key |
Just forget all your schooling |
You won’t find the key |
No because that was the river |
And this is the sea! |
Now I hear there’s a train |
It’s coming down the line |
It’s yours if you hurry |
You’ve got still enough time |
And you don’t need no ticket |
And you don’t pay no fee |
And you don’t need no ticket |
You don’t pay no fee |
Because that was the river |
This is the sea! |
That was the river |
This is the sea! |
That was the river |
And this is the sea! |
That was the river |
The river the river |
The river the river |
The river the river |
The river the river |
The river the river |
And this is the sea! |
This is the sea! |
Behold the sea! |
