In a Field, by a River

In a field by a river That has swept you away So wide and so deep So little chance of escape All stretching on forever Not a blemish on the skyline I am running to try and find you Grab a branch and pull you out Desperate to outpace the current Before it's too late And no one hears a word of it No one knows a thing And in a sudden moment It's clear what they believe in In their lives there is no water You move so slowly on the earth They'll never see it as it looks from the inside Before the sun sets on your chance Your chance to escape this world And rush into one you can love From far away, I hear you say "I can tell that you're alone in there, And I ⁠- I bet it must be nice I can tell that you're alone in there, But I was only floating by We've changed" And when it's all dried up, I'll lie down And I'll take on nothing As I want from the ground And when it's all dried up, I'll lie down And I'll accept nothing As I want from the ground
