lyrics

There’s a crack in the sky
Where your mind leaks out
There’s nothing to find
Beyond a shadow of doubt
So keep all your secrets
All tidy and locked
And cast all your seeds
To the mercy of rocks
Or spill all your riches
Into a chasm of hope
And sing all the pitches
Of the coins on the stones

The river the river is rising
Bloated up with our bones
The river the river is rising
It’s coming to carry us home

Now John was a painter
He knew all the tricks
He painted with feathers
And he painted with sticks
He thought he had found
In the shapes and the gestures
Some kind of answer
To some kind of question
And when he died
His paintings they hung
The colors they tried
To hold all he’d done

Molly was a dancer
Her body was strong
Her only answer
Was the shape of a song
Her body would tell
A story of wanting
Some kind of ghost
To do all her haunting
When her bones grew brittle
And her memory was shot
She danced in her bed
To all she’s forgotten

The river the river is rising
Bloated up with our bones
The river the river is rising
It’s coming to carry us home…
