lyrics

Windy River

Twenty eight days ago, I thought it right
To lay my soul on the line
Didn’t know you’d need it too

Twenty eight years have passed and the sun is shining
Through the glass of my solemn perch
To which I keep coming back

We drift along and raise our sails into the wind
Time travels by from far upstream
And it seems as though we’re facing backwards on the boat
Peering out the windy river rolls

Fourteen hours ago I was renting time
From the old dusty corner saloon
Picking pieces to keep in mind

Then when you mentioned to me that we were going
To the land where ghosts are known
I nearly lost all control

We drift along and raise our sails into the wind
Time travels by from far upstream
And it seems as though we’re facing backwards on the boat
Peering out the windy river rolls

Stars and worn out bars and sitting pews
For the deceased to come to mourn
And remember the lives before

Commending unto the trust of another’s hand
To carry on your memory
Was a choice you couldn’t make

We drift along and raise our sails into the wind
Time travels by from far upstream
And it seems as though we’re facing backwards on the boat
Peering out the windy river rolls

Peering out the windy river rolls
