Slow Rivers

The weather man, he looks confused

Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do

But you don't remember things like that, do you?

The balance was uneven but I'm breaking through

Slow rivers run cold

Shallow waters never sank so low

I thought I'd drown and you'd never know

You're a slow river and you run so cold

The winter here don't believe in God

The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog

I still see in your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog

But one foot in your door, oh that's all I ever got

Slow rivers run cold

Shallow waters never sank so low

I thought I'd drown and you'd never know

You're a slow river and you run so cold

Chances are you'll reappear

Swim my way in a flood of tears

No place to hide your conscience

So you're a sinking ship with no place to go

Slow rivers run cold

Shallow waters never sank so low

I thought I'd drown and you'd never know

You're a slow river and you run so cold
