lyrics

Taxes taxes
Painting a face with care
Mugs and glasses
Playing a game that is never fair

On the soul
Using the lightest touch
Drink it whole
Tilting the world too much

This place is full of silt, no rivers come this way
Keep holding on on until break of day

Doing chores
Just enough to convince
When you lose it
When your fingers slip

How she shows
After the sudden hand
Fills the holes
Porcelain to sand

This place is full of silt, no rivers come this way
Keep holding on on until break of day

To you and yours
I found you upstairs
Crying for oars, hand on you wrist
Standing there
I took you into the kitchen
And dressed you warm
Told you of the snow
And where it goes
Dirt is all there is No Rivers come this way
Go on

Dirt is all there is, no rivers come this way
Go on with your Wood
And bring the waves
