about

lyrics

Like the voice of a bird in a sky full of rain
Your gifts have crushed my heart again.
For you daughters of Market Street, all brought so low,
It’s out to the sea that the river flows.
Let it flow. Let it flow.

You rule over hurt like dogs on a lion.
The eyes of a fool are mine.
I saw you all weeping. I sang the dirge slow.
It’s out to the sea that the river flows.
Let it flow. Let it flow.

The things that you say, alone in your rooms,
The secrets your mothers’ keep locked in their wombs.
Again and again, we owe, I suppose.
It’s out to the sea that the river flows.
Let it flow. Let it flow.

Whatever is left under the sun,
Whatever is left is left undone.
The river goes south, unraveling slow.
And its out to the sea that the river flows
Let it flow. Let it flow.
