Drops in the River

[Verse 1]
Crown of leaves, high in the window on a gold morning
Young today, old as a railroad tomorrow
Days are just drops in the river to be lost always
Only you, only you, you know

[Verse 2]
Years ago, birds of a feather would arrive nightly
Gone you know, held to another like clutched ivy
On the shore, speak to the ocean and receive silence
Only you, only you, you know

[Chorus]
Here as the caves of my memory fade, I'll hold to the first one
I wouldn't turn to another, you say, on the long night we've made
Let it go

[Bridge]
Only you, only you, you know
Only you, only you, you know

[Chorus]
Here as the caves of my memory fade, I'll hold to the first one
I wouldn't turn to another, you say, on the long night we've made
Let it go
[Outro]
Speak to me slow, my dear
No ghost, of course, in here
Pleased to be lonesome, quiet, and clear
All is alone in here
