[Verse 1: James Krivchenia]
I saw a ghost inside the ghost of a river
Where the water had all run dry
Channel was shaking, the bedrock forsaking
Pile of bones and busted iPhones
Lightning had burned the back of the mountain
Whose shoulders folded in
[Refrain: James Krivchenia]
Where will we go if there's nowhere?
What will we do if there's nothing to be done?
Who are we now to each other?
What is this world if not home to everyone?
[Verse 2: Adrianne Lenker]
There is a garden outside
There is a garden in my mind
Everything I water, waits for my daughter
May she have food to eat and may she be kind
Our children are the same
All are born of flesh and given names
[Refrain: Adrianne Lenker]
Where will we go if there's nowhere?
What will we do if there's nothing to be done?
Who are we now to each other?
What is this world if not home to everyone?
[Bridge: Adrianne Lenker]
When will we decide to leave the agony of tyranny
Opposition, envy, and fear?
God forgive us, Earth forgive us
Let us renew, learn, and turn
Dissolve the lines and hold each other near
When will we decide to leave the agony of tyranny
Opposition, envy, and fear?
God forgive us, Earth forgive us
Let us renew, learn, and turn
Dissolve the lines and hold each other near
[Verse 3: Adrianne Lenker]
I saw a blanket of snow
The spring buds pushing through
Sky blue and silver, the trickle of the stream
Songbirds singing in the flow
Sweet little baby before me
Angel with soft warm skin
Eyes full of wonder, heart as strong as thunder
Oh, what a time to begin
