Lyrics

River, carry her safely down
Almost breaking, making our way
Away from town
To pass her on
We’ve left the ground

Baby, talk to your sparrow
Babbling to him
You dear little thing
We’ll feed you, sleep when you’re tired
And snuggle in
Under my wing

And all the while the water winds
Feeling lost at sea
Hiding from the ones that harm
I’ve got room for three

My body aches
But my boat is strong
Silent, fate carries us along
Like a butterfly
I don’t want to cry

And all the while the water winds
Feeling lost at sea
Hiding from the ones that harm
I’ve got room for three

Is it dust defining us?
Fighting fear with fear
The child, the spy
The Earth and sky
A different world appears

And all the while the water winds
Feeling lost at sea
Hiding from the ones that harm
I’ve got room for thre

River, carry her safely down
