Farewell River

Robin Borneman


I can hear the wolves are howling
A distant crying in the mist
It's the voice of my memory
I have learned to resist
Cause I'm going to Farewell River
Leave my body behind
And I whisper your name
To a moonlit sky

Don't you tie me up with borders
Real tight around my neck
Cause I'm tired of taking orders
Baby I'm worn out
I keep on going to Farewell River
To drink It's liver dry
And I whisper your name
Such a sad goodbye

Why'd you run away from here
Away from everything you always held so dear
Even from yourself
You swim around inside your fear
But it doesn't stroke with anything you teach and say
Like a straight lined curve
Don't push me away
Cause I know you I know your name
So don't push me away
Don't let the rain fall down on me
