From the Rivers to the Ocean
Bill Callahan

When when you were blind, you'd touch things for their shapenHave faith in wordless knowledge, have faith in wordless knowledgenWell I can tell you about the river or we could just get innThe body the rain made of our days before we knewnWe are swimming in the rivers of the rains of our days before we knewnAnd it's hard to explain what I was doing all thinking before younnI guess I was a decent man holdin' on, following the river from above like a birdnHave faith in wordless knowledge and the fallen stars, they flew toonAnd I knew they were sewing something, something well made for me and younWe are swimming in the rivers of the rains of our days before we knewnAnd it's hard to explain what I was doing all thinking before younnThe city was a fist, I lived on its wrist and I took myself a good long look aroundnAnd the river grew higher and wider, deeper and darker as I was closing innAnd it led me to you which led me to say let's get...nWe got in the river and it broked us, made us think of sex between usnAt a time in our lives, oh, before we knewnWe were swimming in the rivers of the rains of our days before we knewnAnd it's hard to explain what I was doing all thinking before younnAnd that beautiful thing you said lying in bednAbout all the things I could think of at the end of the daynBut of all the places my mind could gonIt always comes loping back to younnWe are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knewnSo meet me in the ocean and we'll ride the waves from the rivers to the oceannEach wave a long ? panther, sharp-eyed and truennWe are swimming in the rivers of the rains of our days before we knewnAnd it's hard to explain what I was doing all thinking before younHave faith in wordless knowledge, have faith in wordless knowledgen
