This River Is Rising

from Songs From A Car: Volume 1 by Tom Woodward

lyrics

You say you renounce the world
As you wander around
Born again Brahmahcharyan
Sleeping on the ground
Long weeks of the winter
Bitter rain of the spring
This summer will cut you to nothing
You're a delicate thing

It feels like there's nowhere to go
I try not to think
This river is rising
And I'm right on the brink
I could head inland
As money allows
Get paid to pick cherries and apples
Or drink milk from the cows

You say you renounce the world
From some desolate town
There's an answer right up on the mountain
But you cannot bring it down
The surface is slippery
When you're accident prone
You seek out the secret inside you
Where the shadow-winds blow

It feels like I got somewhere to be
No matter where I am
My phone just rings and rings
But it's always a scam
This river is rising
There's dead fish on the shore
It feels like I got something to do
But I cannot remember who for
