Left On The Bank Of The River

why are you still awake?

asking the stars the same

they hungered for your sister

you starved for her to stay

a moment that still eats your heart

how you prayed for the car not to start

but it did



left you behind

you will learn

it happens all the time

you will sure learn too

little moth, aching crop



borrowed you a clean shirt

scares you now how much it's worth

you're not little, it's just bigger

to see the end of sleep aways

find a river for you

when there's no place left to store you



and when you do

don't you forgive

trust no head a saint

awake and soaking wet

don't you forget

stretch out and wait



raindrops on this moth

and all the times that made its world

you might get hit before you find

something worth diving for



left you behind

you will learn

it happens all the time

you will sure learn too

not to forget

trust no heart no saint

asleep and soaking wet

you will stretch out and wait
