Tallest Man On Earth, The - Rivers Lyrics






So there's longing in the shoulders now
There was a wildness in that time
Can't we now say
Oh sweet were the hours
But hours to find
There was no way to live in simple dreams
There was no straightness to our line
Gravel in hand
Darling, we're moving the mountains around

This is the fire of leaving pains
When the love is gone, but the need remains
Into the shivering cold of day
When the house is gone, but the street remain
Oh I guess it's true
I guess these rivers never knew

And so finally the night time comes
There is no lot to cast a blame
No need to hide
No fear who I'd meet
In some grocery lane

This is the fire of leaving pains
When the love is gone, but the need remains
Into the shivering cold of day
When the house is gone, but the street remain
Oh I guess it's true
I guess these rivers never knew

And I'll sing of seasons til you turn me off
I see the way of letting go
They'll be the same
And whatever changes
These changes I know

This is the fire of leaving pains
When we're not that strong and the need remains
Into the shivering lights of day
When the house is gone, but the fields remain
Oh I guess it's true
I guess these rivers never knew

    So there's longing? in the shoulders now
    There was a wildness in that time
    Can't we now say
    Oh sweet were the hours
    But hours too find
    There was no way to live in simple dreams
    There was no strictness to our line
    Gravel in hand
    Darling, we're moving the mountains around
    This is the fire of leaving pains
    When the love is gone, but the need remains
    Into the shivering cold of day
    When the house is gone, but the street remain
    Oh I guess it's true
    I guess these rivers never knew
    And so finally the night time comes
    There is no lot to cast a blame
    No need to hide
    No fear who I'd meet
    In some grocery lane
    This is the fire of leaving pains
    When the love is gone, but the need remains
    Into the shivering cold of day
    When the house is gone, but the street remain
    Oh I guess it's true
    I guess these rivers never knew
    And I'll sing of seasons til you turn me off
    I see the way of letting go
    They'll be the same
    And whatever changes
    These changes I know
    This is the fire of leaving pains
    When we're not that strong and the need remains
    Into the shivering lights of day
    When the house is gone, but the fields remain
    Oh I guess it's true
    I guess these rivers never knew

    Che meraviglia e bello, così tanto sentimento. Buona fortuna "più alto" con la scena musicale di Fabrique a Milano 16 settembre 2016! - How wonderful and beautiful, so much feeling. Good luck "Tallest Man" with your music at the Fabrique's scene in Milan September 16, 2016!

    Hey everyone if you like Kristian's sound check out my page, just released my first music video (an indie-rock tune) and full album coming October 1st! Album is indie-rock meets folk, and my next video features a much more folk vibe. Seattle's next big thing..

    I think he's re-centered nicely after pretty much cutting loose and experimenting on Dark Bird. much more focused ambience.

    T.... ....

    and in turn, redeemed himself. because tbh that album was sorta mediocre by his standards.

    T.... ....

    Strange. I found Dark Bird to be the #1 best breakup album of all time.

  16. S.... ....

    The song is a helluva lot sadder if you know that he and his wife recently divorced.

    S.... ....

    Recently? That was a year if not two years ago and he's been with someone else for a while now.

    S.... ....

    Doesn't mean he didn't write it about the experience

    S.... ....

    @thewolfPrince Of course he did, especially in Dark Bird Is Home but I'm just saying the split was definitely not recent.

  17. A.... J....

    *sighs* what a relaxing little tune.

  18. G.... ....

    To know him is to love him. :-)

    G.... ....

    and to love him is to need him... EVERYWHERE
