Shearwater

Pushing The River

Shearwater


I could see by the way you were living
You had gone to the other side
You were the flash in the wings of a swallow
You were the light in a lion's eye

And you were standing there alone in the river
Where do you go when the well is dry?
Like you could summon up another religion
Like you could summon another life

Well, if you survive
Then will you see me now?
And can you see me now?

Let's go back alone to the river
I want to swim to the other side
I could see by the way you were suffering
Oh, what you were really like

I'm not talking about a wade in the shallows
I'm not living there any more
You can spend your life fighting the river
Or you could look me right in the eyes

But you'll have to decide
Can you see me now?
