From The Rivers To The Ocean Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you were blind
You touch things for their shape
Have faith in wordless knowledge
Have faith in wordless knowledge

[Verse 2]
Well, I can tell you about the river
Or we could just get in
The body the rain made of our days before we knew

[Refrain]
We are swimming in the river
Of the rains of our days before we knew
And it's hard to explain
What I was doing all thinking before you

[Verse 3]
I guess I was a decent man holding on
Following the river from above like a bird
Have faith in wordless knowledge
And the fallen stars they flew too
And I knew they were sewing something
Something well made for me and you

[Refrain]
We are swimming in the river
Of the rains of our days before we knew
And it's hard to explain
What I was doing all thinking before you

[Verse 4]
The city was a fist, I lived on its wrist
And I took myself a good long look around
And the river grew higher and wider
Deeper and darker as I was closing in
And it led me to you which led me to say, "Let's get *in*"
We got in the river and it broked us
Made us think of sex between us
In a time in our lives old before we knew

[Refrain]
We are swimming in the river
Of the rains of our days before we knew
And it's hard to explain
What I was doing all thinking before you

[Verse 5]
And that beautiful thing you said lying in bed
About all the things I could think of at the end of the day
But of all the places my mind could go
It always comes looping back to you

[Refrain]
We are swimming in the river
Of the rains of our days before we knew

[Verse 6]
So meet me in the ocean and we'll ride the waves
From the river to the ocean
Each wave a lunging panther
Sharp by [?] and true

[Refrain]
We are swimming in the river
Of the rains of our days before we knew
And it's hard to explain
What I was doing all thinking before you

[Outro]
Have faith in wordless knowledge
Have faith in wordless knowledge
