On a Clear Day (feat. Libby DeCamp)

In a dream on a clear day
Near the bend in the river
Where he was born, before the war
I'm on the bridge with my father
Above the stream we are busy
Getting rid of this figure
He had torn off with a roar
"Let's throw it in the water"

"Things are just what they are, aren't they? "
He says as we hurl his shadow down
On a clear day

Leaning over the railing
I am one with the river
And his shadow is fading
In quiet ripples and shimmers
Quiet ripples and shimmers

It had looked like the black robe
From the doomsday preacher
In a mess, powerless
Before going under
But then again, when it came up
Emerging defeated
It had always been a cross
He says "I'm free" and shudders

"Things are just what they are, aren't they? "
He says as it coasted out of town
On a clear day

Leaning over the railing
I am one with the river
And his shadow is fading
In quiet ripples and shimmers
Quiet ripples and shimmers
