River's Edge Lyrics

Great Lake Swimmers River's Edge

River's edge, so quiet and full of potential With weeping trees and just enough nightfall To cover up the strays I can hear boats in the distance Making saviours out of ordinary people

Now they sing in a symphony of keepers And they hail in the harmony of saviours

You've got to live, live, live, and love, love, love Whether you like it or not, I will love you

Now the wind picks up swiftly and suddenly And it's breathing as if from a mouth And the edges are lungs that are heaving And it's breathing now without my help And we turn against the darkness with intention

River's edge, you're all that I have And a night filled with promises And just enough nightfall to cover up the strays

Now the river's like horses unbroken And it really is time for a change And it moves and connects with a uniform And the bodies return to their makers And it's good and it's true, let it wash over you Untethered and without a reason
