Drops In River

Crown of leaves, high in the window on a cold morning

Young today, old as a railroad tomorrow

Days are just drops in the river to be lost always

Only you, only you, you know



Years ago, birds of a feather would arrive nightly

Gone you know, held to another like clutched ivy

On the shore, speak to the ocean and receive silence

Only you, only you, you know



You hesitate so my memory fade, I'll hold to the first one

I wouldn't turn to another you say, on the long night we've made

Let it go



Only you, only you, you know

Only you, only you, you know



You hesitate so my memory fade, I'll hold to the first one

I wouldn't turn to another you say, on the long night we've made

Let it go



Speak to me slow my dear

No ghost of course in here

Pleased to be lonesome quiet and clear

All is alone in here
