Riverway

I thought I saw a piece of you today
Under a fallen elm
I tried to see it well
Must have been the way I walked along
I can't recall another time
I loved a day so fine

I'm on my way back
To find out
Just what could have changed
If I'd said it out loud
And maybe there's something in the quiet times
And it's spinning us round
And it's keeping our eyes wide open
And it's making this sound
Right back into the riverway

I thought I heard a way up through the clouds
But I was wrong, the thunder rose
Brokedown and we laughed out loud
Maybe this old mountain's holding on
To what we came to call our own
Back round the rooster home

I'm on my way back
To find out
Just what could have changed
If I'd said it out loud
And maybe there's something in the quiet times
And it's spinning us round
And it's keeping our eyes wide open
And it's making this sound
Right back into the riverway

I fell over my shoes the other day
I don't know why I put them on
Barefoot is much more fun
Thinking back I reached up round the light
Made a way out to the coast
This road I miss the most

I'm on my way back
To find out
Just what could have changed
If I'd said it out loud
And maybe there's something in the quiet times
And it's spinning us round
And it's keeping our eyes wide open
And it's making this sound
Right back into the riverway

I found myself adrift among the waves
No stars to pull me in
Cut loose but I'd been saved
Take me back to the riverway
Take me back to the riverway
Cut loose but I'd been saved
