Riverside
Time is a river
With no riverside
Space a sea
That has no tide
Can't get across, no
It's too wide
If you have loved then
You have cried
We are dust that was
Made in stars
Now we roll off
To work in cars
When we were young
With no riverside
Space a sea
That has no tide
Can't get across, no
It's too wide
If you have loved then
You have cried
We are dust that was
Made in stars
Now we roll off
To work in cars
When we were young
We'd spill our
Dreams in bars
Now we clean up the mess
Dreams in bars
Now we clean up the mess
A little bit of thought
Can make a lot of sense
And every little day
Can make a lot of sense
And every little day
Can make a difference
Yes, I'm speaking in
Present tense
Where my faults
And seams wear through
I can be more than
Than a little dance
You're gonna get splinters
If you ride that fence
Still I like the way
The river bends
When it turns
Back to you
We called it gravy
Never called it sauce
You better learn something
If you love gets lost
Like how hard the hurt
How high the cost
How all smooth
Goes to rust
Time is a river
With no riverside
Space a sea
That has no tide
Can't get across, no
It's too wide
If you have loved then
You have cried.
Present tense
Where my faults
And seams wear through
I can be more than
Than a little dance
You're gonna get splinters
If you ride that fence
Still I like the way
The river bends
When it turns
Back to you
We called it gravy
Never called it sauce
You better learn something
If you love gets lost
Like how hard the hurt
How high the cost
How all smooth
Goes to rust
Time is a river
With no riverside
Space a sea
That has no tide
Can't get across, no
It's too wide
If you have loved then
You have cried.
