Dry The River
The chambers & the valves - single version
Two young hearts will meet in the middle
And a light will flicker on, where there once was none
Where does love come from?
The bodies in the firmament are spinning like a plate;
I was lost in the fission before you came
If every constellation above us has a counterpart below
How are we to know, dear? How are we to know?
Fortune hangs around us like a funerary wreath
I was down in the heart of the ground beneath
I could write this down, I could turn this car around
In the land of mistakes I should lay my crosses down
And I pray for your health, and I tell myself
It's the chambers and the valves that pump the sentiment around
But I swallow the words and I close my mouth
Two old hearts will meet in the middle in the autumn of their years
How did our love grow, dear? How did we get here?
The bodies in the firmament are spinning like a plate;
I was lost in the fission before you came
I could write this down, I could turn this car around
In the land of mistakes I should lay my crosses down
And I pray for your health, and I tell myself
It's the chambers and the valves that pump the sentiment around
But I swallow the words and I close my mouth
I could write this down, I could turn this car around
In the land of mistakes I should lay my crosses down
And I pray for your health, and I tell myself
It's the chambers and the valves that pump the sentiment around
But I swallow the words and I close my mouth
