The River

The river glows silver

Slipping over the stones

I am listening to the thunder

Throwing timber on the road

I am looking out over the water

Bats are flying

They are diving for bugs

Living in a world of echoes, instead of love

I am one of them

Wondering

'Who will be my man?'

See, there's the butcher,

The baker,

The candlestick maker

So many tasty flavors,

Oh, How can I decide?!

I'm hungry for forever now

But no one's by my side

I'm hungry for forever now

But forever takes its time

Dark clouds tonight

Not many stars up in the sky

But I am watching the circling of

one solitary satellite

Going over the river

The river glows silver

Slipping over the stones

Still, I am wrestling with devils

That I have always known

Oh I'm hungry for forever now

But no one's by my side

I'm hungry for forever now

But forever takes its time

See, there's the butcher,

The baker,

The candlestick maker

So many tasty flavors,

Oh, How can I decide?

There's a farmer, he's quite the charmer

The guy from the tattoo parlor

The banker and the barber

How can I decide ??

Oh I'm hungry for forever now

But no one's by my side

I'm hungry for forever now

But forever takes its time

The river is glistening like the fins of silver fishes

And I am wishing all my wishing would just wash away....
