The River
Brian Eno

Brian Eno

Wrong Way Up

The River

So deep in the water

Sleep, dark as the night

Somehow it seems it was all another dream

Soon dissolved in the light.

Oh, we were by the waterline.

Vague, the song of the night.

Innocent to all the peasant gods with you,

So, we drink to be renewed.

On the long, deep river

Where the moorhens cry

As the first sun quivers in the open sky...


Oh, she came down the river.

Soon, all the leaves were still.

The current was strong and the river was so long.

So, we drink to be renewed.

In the long cool evening,

Where the peacocks shiver

And the boat starts down the silver river way...

I remember you saying,

As her deep eyes opened,

In the first light seeing her,

here is someone new.
