Started out at the riverbed where we lay While the smoke curled overhead, there we lay Filled our lungs with all the stories we'd been told to get us through the day Bodies warm and laid out in the sand Soaking up all the light we can Lay there til the sun begins to sink under the weight of all of us And as the fire burned we saw reflections of the flames in each of us My father used to come here as a boy He sought the safety of the river, the solace of the woods My mother used to bring me as a child, and she would cradle me so tightly... as if i'd float away, as if i'd float away As if i'd float away as if i'd float away
