There lies a river Somewhere along the line Its water’s flowing Dividing city and sky It sang a love song The way the sirens sing Out on the sea What did I hear? Another promise A star to give some light And I was aching To hear a redemptive word If there is a fire Please don’t let it go out Don’t let me go Don’t let it go Don’t let it slip away You were a body Just like a sea aflame A surge of wet salt The drops I drank from your skin There ran the river Dividing everything What do we know What have we found What do we own Along the line All out of luck Walking the ruins of my yesterdays I’m chasing down a road to nowhere I’m going nowhere All out of love There is this poverty inside of me A stranger in the light of morning All out of life There is this empty place beside me And roads and rivers winding in a circle All out of luck All out of everything worth fighting for Now my heart is drying in the sun My voice is sore now From swallowing a dream My body’s weak now From feasting on our fears This is the river Still running so deep Carrying you Carrying me Carrying us downstream Along the line All out of luck Walking the ruins of my yesterdays I’m chasing down a road to nowhere All out of love There is this poverty inside of me A stranger in the light of morning All out of life There is this empty place beside me And roads and rivers winding in a circle All out of luck All out of everything worth fighting for Now our hearts are drying in the sun In the shelter of a heartbeat In the sultry heat of august, stars fell down
