This River's Too Fast

Let's slide down the slippery path
Scrape our way along the railroad tracks
We get to choose how we spend our time
Nowhere to go, no one who minds
We don't have much stuff to carry round
A red cats eye and some toys we found
And I have you and I can sing your name
Ooooo

This river's too fast
This river's too fast
We don't have far to go
Let's make it last

It's a simple thing to change your mind
So how come after all these years I'm not alright

We walked down to the rocks of the dry riverbed
Set up our camp, our bright orange tent
It's not a lot, we don't need much
On cold hard ground we have each other's touch
We'll be safe here I said
Let's lay down to bed
Stay close to me, rest your head

But I wasn't right
We didn't make it through the night
I should've known a storm would come
Why couldn't I have been the one
Washed away
By the dark water

This river's too fast
This river's too fast
We don't have far to go
Let's make it last

You dropped a part of your wing
Into the smoke from the dust on a dying light
I'm barely living in the shadow of your ghost
Oooooo
