The River Banks Lyrics

Sat on the river banks in silence

Listening to everything I could hear

Feeling the heat of the sun falling low in the sky as it warmed my cheeks to a rosy pink

Watched the ripples carry the reflection of the sun like liquid silver

Molten and burning so hot that it shined white

Directionless and moving in every direction

I thought about who I could be if I were paired with different people

I thought about who I would be if I were married

If I were to be a rower's wife

Then I could live in a house on the river banks

My days mimicking the tide

The tide falling low and rising high

If I were to be a spaceman's wife

Then I could live at the heights of the world

My days becoming nights when the stars come out to shine

Gleaming in a mosaic sky

As I thought about who I could be

Who I could and would be

It started to occur to me

I don't see myself existing

Existing individually
