River Bird Lyrics

Sleep comes and in my dreams

Images of bouncing planes

Over the clouds they fly

And I feel safe a while

Sleep comes in my dreams

Images of bouncing planes

Over the clouds they fly

And I feel safe a while

The rain is the river bird

It climbs up high then dives

Back down again to this earth

Entrenched in scary spotlight

In pastures wide unknown

Bubbling up through memories

Of soil and old land's bones

The roots of pure and verdant homes

Carve their mark on minds and lives

Etched in flesh and stone

These sights are quite deceiving

In the morning light

The rain is the river bird

It climbs up high then dives

Back down again to this earth

Entrenched in scary spotlight

The sea brings new treasures to the land

Traded for silt and sand

Small hands gather rocks on beaches

While I lay blissfully speechless

Sometimes I pretend that I'm hiding again

From the words that appear in my brain

Thoughts to confuse and lose me

In my ego's unscripted refrain

The rain is the river bird

It climbs up high then dives

Back down again to this earth

Entrenched in scary spotlight
