To be a shadow cast
Upon the river
The current moving through
The water moving over
How did I get so small
We couldn't know for sure
Lay gold into the green
For gods beneath the reeds
Eroding banks
Take it away
The water takes us all someday
We trample underfoot
Until our path is carved
Unable to go back
Deprived and feeling starved
We're wearing out our welcome
Eroding banks
Take it away
The water takes us all someday
The hornet's nest
The sweet decay
The water takes us all someday
