lyrics

Once I walked by bridges
That spanned a river. Steep
The canyon plunging, currents
Carve through the rock so deep.
I never thought to cross one.
A border left resolves
Into another country,
And the track behind dissolves

Into the foreign. Falling,
The rain begins to flood
The canyon, tearing bridges,
Collapsing into mud.
Left behind, the waters
Are rushing to the sea.
Lost inside a country,
No more I’ll ever be.

Walking past the bridges
Rebuilt by fortune, fast.
The riches turn to anger,
The borders sealed. The past
Dissolves into the currents
And flows into the sea.
The waves, the tides exhausting
All that’s left to be.
