swim with the current and float away



Down by the river by the boats

Where everybody goes to be alone

Where you wont see any rising sun

Down to the river we will run


When by the water we drink to the dregs

Look at the stones on the riverbed

I can tell from your eyes

You've never been by the riverside


Down by the water the riverbed

Somebody calls you somebody says

swim with the current and float away

Down by the river every day


Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep

And I don't know why I go the way

Down by the riverside


When that old river runs past your eyes

To wash off the dirt on the riverside

Go to the water so very near

The river will be your eyes and ears


I walk to the borders on my own

Fall in the water just like a stone

Chilled to the marrow in them bones

Why do I go here all alone

Tenho a sensação de que, se soubesse tocar piano, a minha vida tinha sido diferente. É daquelas sensações que se colam a nós... como um aroma.

A propósito e só para que fique registado:

"Às vezes julgo ver nos meus olhos
A promessa de outros seres
Que eu podia ter sido,
Se a vida tivesse sido outra.

Mas dessa fabulosa descoberta
Só me vem o terror e a mágoa
De me sentir sem forma, vaga e incerta
Como a água."
