Let the River In
I believe it began innocently enough:a handful of highs, a couple of months. Wandering winter to the south and the sun, as the ice came for Texas again. I got lost for a love that was jagged and just. I could never unspin, never unfrost. So I turned with the hills to the Amarillo dust, followed by a song you'd sing…
You try to let the river in, you try to let it all roll on. Try to let the river in – you try to let it all roll on. You think a little bit like a thief. You feel a moment beyond what you see.
So I buried my fear in the ditch with my pride, learned how to move as the sudden crow flies. I could never be yours; I am not even mine. I'm a feather on a finer wing. And in the room to my right, Joey huddled up cold with a melody I made Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com but knew couldn't hold. He stole the bell from the center of my soul, struck it how it's meant to ring.
You try to let the river in – you try to let it all roll on. Thinking a little more like a thief, we felt around for a crack or a key. Joey and me, we only had a dozen decent ends. But Joey and me, we had these thousand good beginnings, so here we go again.
and I will try to let the river in – I'll try to let it all roll on. You try to let the river in – try to let it all roll on. We'll try to let the river in, try to let it all roll on.
