Bill Callahan - From The Rivers To The Ocean Lyrics
When, when you were blind
You touched things for their shape
Have faith in wordless knowledge
Have faith in wordless knowledge
Or we could just get in
The body the rain made of our days before we knew
We are swimming in the rivers
Of the rains of our days before we knew
And it's hard to explain
What I was doing or thinking before you
I guess I was a decent man holding on
Following the river from above like a bird
And the fallen stars they flew to
And I knew they were sewing something
Something well-made made for me and you
We are swimming in the rivers
Of the rains of our days before we knew
And it's hard to explain
What I was doing or thinking before you
The city was a fist, I lived on its wrist
And I took myself a good long look around
And the river grew higher and wider
Deeper and darker as I was closing in
And it led me to you which led me to say, "Let's get *in*"
We got in the river and it broked us
Made us think of sex between us
At a time in our lives old before we knew
We were swimming in the rivers
Of the rains of our days before we knew
And it's hard to explain
What I was doing or thinking before you
And that beautiful thing you said lying in bed
About all the things I could think of at the end of the day
But of all the places my mind could go
It always comes loping back to you
We are swimming in the rivers
Of the rains of our days before we knew
So meet me in the ocean and we'll ride the waves
From the rivers to the ocean
Each wave a lunging panther
Sharp-eyed and true
We are swimming in the rivers
Of the rains of our days before we knew
And it's hard to explain
What I was doing or thinking before you
Have faith in wordless knowledge
Have faith in wordless knowledge
