The River 2 lyrics

by

Sage Francis


[Hook] [x2]
And when I see (the) lightning, feels like my buzz is heightening
Everytime I feel the sun, I can smell the love
Everytime I smell the air, I can hear a child trying
But everytime I hear a river I think the mother is crying

[Verse 1]
It was a purple purple sky and an orange orange moon
And everyone was whistling the same tune
Except Brian, Brian stared out across the field
And watch the horizon blossom to cop a feel
Over the edge of the world
The one we're all afraid to walk
The rationate for why they're so high on the small talk
But Brian knows where the crows all go
To find the if's, and the and's and the but's and also's

[Chorus]
If I could run through the woods and speed like the light
I’d find the answers to why, and be back by tonight
If I could fly through the fog and look down at this rock
I’d figure out how to sweep hell off of my block
But as it stands, I lay content
Tryin’ to be the magic man, tryin' to pay my rent
Stay bend, try to turn on the secrets you sought
While we're still burning the dawn just to keep the day hot
[Verse 2]
They slipped hidden messages into the cards that were dealt
Trying to understand myself and all of the sorrow I felt
For as simple as I'am how'd it get so complex
Got me studying the margins and disregarding the text
I open the curtains and listen to the traffic go
But I still get nervous each time my piece passes go
The residue is thick, the memory fails
I still laugh cuz the path feels a lot like a trail

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
We used to be lost walking these hallways with pride
Drunk or sober, life was nothing short of rollercoaster rides
Used to trip off the music, speak to the rhythm
All we wanted out of life was living
And when you passed I wanted to take back the time we wasted
I'd trade all the buzzes in for one more conversation
We can sit in the shade and discuss the meaning of sacred
Cause I can't see the garden no more, just the aphids
But the wind still blows and the plains still grow
And I wish your name was on the guest list to my shows
I want you to see me find my freedom
Cause you got to meet the sun before you got to meet my son
[Hook] [x4]
And when I see the lightning, feels like my buzz is heightening
Everytime I feel the sun, I can smell the love
Everytime I smell the air, I can hear a child trying
But everytime I hear a river I think the mother is crying

[Outro]
And when I hear a river I think the mother is crying
But when I hear a river I think the mother is crying
But when I hear a river I think the mother is crying
But when I hear the river..
