Verse:
there was blue green clay
on the banks that day
as we left the world behind
it was upstream then
like
it's upstream now
in this livelong outside
there's a trestle across the water
like my hands across that year
for
a moment the green was mine
Chorus:
our footsteps worn
from years of rain
it held my hand
like it holds my name
my
childhood born
and the difference
the water washed away
the water washed away.
Verse:
i'm bruised and red
from the pain of rock
stepping stones until i fall
but daggers when i land
a
roman candle in my hand
a weapon to the outside
i walked in my father's wake
i prayed to a god to take
the endlessness
of those shores
Chorus:
our footsteps worn
from years of rain
it held my hand
like it holds my name
my
childhood born
and the difference
the water washed away
the water washed away
Bridge:
those sacred trails
by the waterside left
to other souls(soles) without love or hate
they're bleeding
the everything
they've soiled this brilliant green
and i'm drowning for the water's sake
Chorus:
our footsteps worn
from years of rain
it held my hand
like it holds my name
my childhood
born
and the difference
the water washed away
the water washed away
the water washed away..
