Oh Life
Fish
Alive Inside
Doesn’t Matter Anymore

Side B
Gone
Curve Away
Time is a River
All Fall Down

lyrics

Time is a River

Beneath the walls you’ve come undone
That itch you scratch, the wrong one
Hard way to learn, maybe not fun
But it got us both here and maybe that’s enough

A parade of sighs, reductions due
We agree about that, oh yes we do
What you say you never, it fools no one
Still, me just wishing never has changed much

It doesn’t matter much I heard her say
Time is a river now just running away

Knuckling hope from empty
Long at that job
Oh, my all the worry
Started when she called
But living at the edge
Thickens in the night
Meets you every morning
Looking to pick a fight
But eyes wide, woke
Should mean no pretending
Even getting on
Ever strong, unbending
There is always something left to do
Fences needing mending
Always chasing after truth
That work never ending

Reach down deep, got to find a way
Because time is a river now just running away

Maybe once was could just be hid
And we’d get it all back with one long kiss
But summer’s gone now we’re into driving rain
I try to hang on but everything’s changed

Not much I can do or really even say
Can’t make a change if she doesn’t want anyway
Not much I can do or really say
Time is a river
Time is a river
Time is a river just running away

Beneath the walls you’ve come undone
