Feet touched the water, it was cool beneath our toes North Carolina in July We'd set off swimming, it was spring before we'd know That this lovely accident had died So follow the river 'till it leads you back alone And bring all your camping gear we're never coming home Cause this serendipity could only last awhile And I don't have the means to make it right I buried grievances and you just held your tongue But in time the dam was bound to break It ran amuck until the sun was sinking down And I'm slow to let the feelings fade So follow the river 'till it leads you back alone And bring all your camping gear we're never coming home Cause this serendipity could only last awhile And I don't have the means to make it right And I'll just have to hope that we'll survive
