Lyrics

By and Down the River

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Moving in and out of the shadows

It's no easier mission

Holding on to how I picture you

Showing only bits and pieces

Till the light betrays you

And your empty allocution

Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility

Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility

Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of it

Searching your eyes for humility

Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace

I'm still searching, searching

Showing only bits and pieces

Till the tide betrays you

And your empty allocution

Rode the Piper by and down the river

Carcass crippled underneath

The pounding waves of adoration

Pied piper float on down the river

Bloated carcass, crippled knee

The weight of adoration

Moving in and out of the shadows

It's no easy mission

Holding on to how I picture you
