From The Rivers To The Ocean

When, when you were blind
 You'd touch things for their shape
 Have faith in wordless knowledge
 Have faith in wordless knowledge
 Well, I can tell you about the river
 Or we could just get in
 The body the rain made of our days before we knew
 We are swimming in the rivers
 Of the rains of our days before we knew
 And it's hard to explain
 What I was doing or thinking before you
 I guess I was a decent man holding on
 Following the river from above like a bird
 With faith in wordless knowledge
 And the fallen stars, they flew too
 And I knew they were sewing something
 Something well-made, made for me and you
 We are swimming in the rivers
 Of the rains of our days before we knew
 And it's hard to explain
 What I was doing or thinking before you
 The city was a fist
 I lived on its wrist
 And I took myself a good long look around
 And the river grew higher and wider
 Deeper and darker as I was closing in
 And it led me to you which led me to say
 "Let's get"
 We got in the river and it groped us
 Made us think of sex between us
 At a time in our lives old before we knew
 We were swimming in the rivers
 Of the rains of our days before we knew
 And it's hard to explain
 What I was doing or thinking before you
 And that beautiful thing you said lying in bed
 About all the things I could think of at the end of the day
 But of all the places my mind could go
 It always comes loping back to you
 We are swimming in the rivers
 Of the rains of our days before we knew
 So meet me in the ocean
 And we'll ride the waves from the rivers to the ocean
 Each wave a lounging panther sharp-eyed and true
 We are swimming in the rivers
 Of the rains of our days before we knew
 And it's hard to explain
 What I was doing or thinking before you
 Have faith in wordless knowledge
 Have faith in wordless knowledge
