lyrics

You know the photograph is fading from within
Into the picture I begin
Replace the memory with visions in a frame
And this is how I spend my day

Into the wide open unknowing underway
I wouldn’t know another way

Your motion tells me everything I need to know
Your saddest sorrow sails a boat
Under the influence of love and pain and gray
And this is how I spend my day

Into the widest opening over the planes
And this is where I lost my way
Into the great beyond
Down the river let me sing my song to you
I feel it’s what I’ve got to do

I listen to the radio waves in a dream
I touch the sounds the that set the scene
I float on songs imagined many moons away
This is how I spend my night and day

Into the open air hung low over the waterway
I wouldn’t know another way
Into the great beyond
Down the river let me sing my song to you
I know it’s what I’ve got to do

See to the other side
Leafy and golden bright
In the air, on the waves, for a song

I light a cigarette for you and one for me
I watch the smoke lift through the trees
A distant world held out at arm’s length for to see
What might become of you and me

Oh, the water song, it lifts us to the light
Good night
A simple reverie, a place to rest our heads and be
Just where we ought to be
