Lyrics
How did the river know that we'd come or go... is not that it is in summer's tempting flow - when beckoned by a passing storm, the eye to ill-conform, would find you by the road, trying... to keep warm. What did the river say when you tried to walk away... is that what it takes to make your heart obey? When beckoned by a passing faze...ignore the ante raised.But when all of your chips were down, I heard you... call my name. When your reflection disappears. When all your words fade-away... in the silence of that tideless spell, when the heavens fell... you opened up that door called forever. What did the moonlight show that you didn't know... your words like a bell chiming strong and slow. When all the meaning had trickled down... in stagnant inlet, drowned. All your hopes had been dashed ashore...left you wishing for once more. How did the river know all we could not let go... runs-off through a dream that pulls the undertow. When beckoned by a passing storm, the eye will not conform...would find you standing by the shore waiting...to be born. When your reflection disappears. When all your words fase away... in the silence of that broken shell, when the heavens fell...you opened up that door... you opened up that door you opened up that door... called 'forever'.
