By This River

Here we are

Stuck by this river,

You and I

Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down

Ever falling down.

 

Through the day

As if on an ocean

Waiting here,

Always failing to remember why we came, came, came:

I wonder why we came.

 

You talk to me

as if from a distance

And I reply

With impressions chosen from another time, time, time,

From another time.
