Into My River

Like lights in the houses I pass in the night

The lonely things, they have arrived

This is the weekend, this is the end

Bereft of dreams, please don’t disappear

All the years rush by

And the river flows faster now

The clear wild eyes of youth

And a stone to drown the memory

All the forgotten things

A tranquil place awaits me now

Strange songs we sing

And the river flows faster now

And then I can let go

Like faces in the window, inside the light

Are they ever friendly, or only young

I was going to the house at the top of the world

One day I had it all, the same day I threw it away

All the years float down

And the river flows faster now

The clear wild eyes of youth

And a stone to drown the memory

All the forgotten things

A tranquil place awaits us now

Strange songs are heard

And the river flows faster now

And then I must let go

Snow falls all around this lonely room

And the river flows faster now

The walls come close, this hotel room

And the river flows faster now

Outside it seems so pure, so clean

And nothing can save us now

Submit to the lonely things

And my river dies into the sea

All the years rush down

And the river flows faster now

The clear wild eyes of youth

And a stone to drown them all

These are the lonely things

And my river flows faster now

And now I let go
