Find The River


from the album: Automatic for the People



Hey now, little speedyhead,
the read on the speedmeter says
you have to go to task in the city
where people drown and people serve.
Don't be shy. Your just deserve
is only just light years to go

Me my thoughts are flower strewn
Ocean storm, bayberry moon,
I have got to leave to find my way.
Watch the road and memorize
this life that pass before my eyes.
Nothing is going my way

The ocean is the river's goal
a need to leave the water knows
We're closer now than light years to go

I have got to find the river
bergamont and vetiver
run through my head and fall away.
Leave the road and memorize
this life that pass before my eyes.
Nothing is going my way.

There's no one left to take the lead

but i tell you and you can see

we're closer now than light years to go

Pick up here and chase the ride

The river empties to the tide

Fall into the ocean



The river to the ocean goes
a fortune for the undertow
None of this is going my way
There is nothing left to throw
of Ginger, lemon, indigo,
coriander stem and rose of hay
Stregnth and courage overrides
the privileged and weary eyes
of river poet search naivete.
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
All of this is coming your way
