Down the River

Is it early where you are?
Can I call you when it's dark
And I need someone?
I been tearing at the sheets
Sweating all my dreams
Down to nothing

Am I living like I said I'd do
When I thought that I could split the world in two
Jumping fences like we had something to prove
We weren't afraid of anything

Are you out there on your own?
Does the city feel like home?
And are you working?
Is it steady like you want?
Enough to steel your battered heart
When it starts hurting

Are you living like you said you'd do
When you thought that you could split the world in two
Counting every star up on your father's roof
Til the dawn came whispering

But when the sunlight hits your window
Will you think on me and smile?
As I was in all your memories
As I am out here tonight
On my back down the river
Listening to the seagulls call
Oh how easy, oh how easy
To be nothing, to be nothing at all

Do you remember all those walks
Fifteen years ago this fall
Up on the levee?
We could talk for hours unceasing
Now there's time zones in between us
Life got messy

Are we living like we said we'd do
When we thought that we could split the world in two
A couple kids and now we don't know if we're through
Or if this is everything

But when the sunlight hits your window
Will you think on me and smile?
As I was in all your memories
As I am out here tonight
On my back down the river
Listening to the seagulls call
Oh how easy, oh how easy
To be nothing, to be nothing at all

When the sunlight hits your window
Will you think on me and smile?
As I was in all your memories
As I am out here tonight
On my back down the river
Listening to the seagulls call
Oh how easy, oh how easy
To be nothing, to be nothing at all
