from Underneath .............................................. |
|
I have drifted down a ways along the shoreline, |
|
I just watched these ropes give way where they were tied. |
|
I could have reached out quick when the ropes first slipped, if |
|
I had tried, but |
|
I was wondering where the wind was trying to take me overnight, if |
|
I never did resist, and what strange breezes make a sailor want to let it come to this, with lines untied, slipping through my fist. |
|
It is downhill all the way to the ocean, so of course the river always wants to flow. |
|
The river's been here longer, it's older and stronger and knows where to go, and |
|
I was wondering where the river's trying to take me overnight, if |
|
I never did resist, and what strange breezes make a sailor want to let it come to this, with lines untied, slipping through my fist. |
|
This is where |
|
I played as a baby. |
|
This is where |
|
I ran as a child. |
|
This is where my dad took the last breath he had, and smiled. |
|
I guess I'm wondering where this place is trying to take me overnight, if |
|
I never did resist, and what strange breezes make a sailor want to let it come to this, with lines untied, slipping through my fist. .............................................. |
