The River

from Letters to Jesus by Model M

/

lyrics

I walked the river of life’s edge
Until the day we met
The river is said to lead to the sea
And on to Nirvana
The warm water compels my soul
As the spirit takes to flow
So willingly I follow
I wanted to be there, I felt complete
 
The water, the river, the ocean, the bottom
The water, the river, the ocean, the bottom
 
(Down where I can’t breathe and I can’t swim away)
 
And in the end I couldn’t have
Meant that much to you
For the one I burned so deeply for
Is just a shipwreck washed up on the shore
I had so much hope
In your womb I wanted to stay
But your current pulls me further down
Deeper into you into you to the place
No heart is safe
 
The water, the river, the ocean, the bottom
The water, the river, the ocean, the bottom
 
(Where I can’t breathe and I can’t just swim away)
 
The water, the river, the ocean, the bottom
