River (feat. Mats Eilertsen & Andreas Ulvo)

Yet another song about a river

And its power, by which it plows the earth

How it rounds the sharpest rock, by a

long and gentle touch

and brings life in this withered

land

And in this river we're swimming

each stroke new and firmer than the last

we don't know where we're going, except

away, slowly, from the past

and we bring life into this withered

land

ref.:

amidst the rush of white water

My view still undisturbed

Oh, the weight of all that it carries

within it an entire world

And I think again of our meeting

It happened just before dawn

A cold country, and this early, the land pale green and fawn

bringing life into this withered land

SOLO

the cold, the rain, and the river

that has often formed my thought

now I'm walking, not floating, not quite sure

what I really sought

just a life in this withered land
