Okkervil River - Down the River of Golden Dreams

For the Enemy

Oh, my enemy
You've got company
You're not alone
They're watching over me
While each town I pass
Fades as it folds

So in the night
We might get lost
Lost in our fright
So in the day
Softly, we'll flow
Floating away

And it pours
From the faucet's mouth
Like our fortune
Comes flowing out
Every word of which
Without a doubt
Will find us together
And together bring us down

They'll tie us down
In those fine thin threads
Run their knives
Up and down our skin
Until what was in
Will be out again
Above the sea
On that sunny ledge

As in the day
Softly we'll flow
Floating away
And in the night
We will get lost
Lost in our fright

La, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

And in the day
Softly we'll flow
Floating away
