The Leaf on the River - Original Song

LYRICS:


The girls at the park skip like stones on a lake
They don't know the mark they leave in their wake.

i watch them from a distance
I know they world they know
I wonder at the difference
Between want and think and hope

The leaf only goes where the river wants it to go
With the light all above and the dark all below

I watch it from a distance
I watch it spin away
I wonder at the difference
Between hope and try and pray

And you're all such pretty birds
You all seem to know how to fly
Trace your lemniscates and spirals
Watch your green spaces, watch your spinning sky, but

I want to feel the river flow with me
I want to fee it all below me
Because I love the way you leave the ground but
No one knows how far, how far is down

We meet at the bar and finally
I'm where you are but far enough to breathe

I watch you from a distance
Watch you move your hands
And wonder at the difference
Between want and should and can

I want to feel the river flow with me
I want to feel it all below me
Because I love the way you leave the ground
But no one knows how far, how far is down
