Little River

[Verse 1] Well there is somethin' 'bout the quiet, upliftin' laughter You just spent so many years chased by a cloud, oh And it's taken you so far, far past the cliff's edge And now your feet just poke around to feel the ground, oh [Pre-Chorus] You say, "Is this a joke?" I float, "Come on, now" You see there's somethin' down below Just let me fall to be of use, make me the rainstorm Or just a piece of hail, you know [Chorus] You said, "All the time it needs to take" And all the time there's a shiver from some fallen tear But is it honest like a fallen log To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground? [Verse 2] And there is somethin' 'bout the quiet, surprisin' darkness You just sing about your own death in your closet You stumble out into the pitch-black hallway You think you've lost so many times, though it's not war yet [Pre-Chorus] You say, "Are these my eyes?" You said, "Come on, now Already lost my sense to feel" But there is always someone out there who will listen And then there's nothin' but a dream [Chorus] You said, "All the time it needs to take" And all the time there's a shiver from some fallen tear But is it honest like a fallen log To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground? [Verse 3] And there is somethin' 'bout the leavin' of a lover You think you knew through all the years you've been a woman And he's steppin' out and walks out of the garden Where all the lilies and the weeds came from his cold hand [Pre-Chorus] You say, "Is this my life?" You said, "Come on, now" I see the diamonds when you yell "I let you stay in all the corners, I have been here But now you travel, go to hell" [Chorus] You said, "All the time it needs to take" And all the time there's a shiver from some fallen tear But is it honest like a fallen log To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?
