Grief

Grief

Like water

Running over a riverbed

Picking up silt

Like blocks in the past

Look at how they reshape the shoreline

It isn't wise

To go on living like

Everything's fine

From time to time

That waterline

Baby it's gotta rise

Death in the dawning of the spring

A catalyst anchoring

I see you close your eyes when you sing

Then they open wide when you tell me

All about your dreams

I see your mouth

Drawling south

When you set the sobbing free

All emotion

Like rivers to an ocean

Coursing through our bodies

You can't escape

The constant reminder

When your heart is broken left out in an open

Field

Death in the dawning of the spring

A catalyst anchoring

I see you close your eyes when you sing

Then they open wide when you tell me

All about death in the dawning of the spring

A catalyst anchoring

I see you close your eyes when you kiss me

Then they open wide when you tell me

All about grief
