The River Runs

from Gorgeous Morning by Tanya Davis

/

about

about how we should fall in love, even though it will hurt us

lyrics

i do not mean to write a sad lament
you haven't even broken my heart yet
but you might
i anticipate the pain but stay in spite

the lion likes the fire, that's the truth
you're a high, wild river and i'm shy of you
still i sit and preen where you can see me
i never did hide very easy

you said yes then no then yes then no then yes
i said ok, i'll take what i can get
i built a raft so that i could guide myself
our erratic waters, i would go by myself
but i am a dreadful carpenter and it is breaking down
i have a tender heart in there afraid to drown

all the fragile people
going through the motions
what else should we do
what else should i do

be as inconclusive as you need
and you and me will do this fancy free
the river runs and you will not tame it
hearts break, just face it
