lyrics

The river is colder and wider today
She's black in the night and she's blue in the day
I don't need to jump in to get carried away
When I come back a fish, please put me in the sea
For the river is too cold for me
I beg for deliverance, does the wind carry me?

Sweet stagnation is pulling me now
I was in the wrong place, when the anchor came down

Now the locks are all closed and the streams are all froze up
Can I make a home in the reeds here
The clocks here have slowed to a practical stop
And nature is takin' a breather

Well I should have told her that I couldn't stay
Before they dammed up the creek that led back to the bay
I doubt that she'd listen to me anyway
This little vein is too shallow for me
My blood needs the salt to be free
Somebody's draining the main artery

If the world has a heart, we can swim to the part
Where an octopus' arms will receive me
Way down deep in the drink and surrounded by ink
I'm in a place where the cold cannot seize me
And there is no-one above or beneath me
