I’m standing on this bridge
Looking down
Into the waters
A million insect wings
Are beating
Beating in my head
But still these river waters
Run deep
Those crystal cool cool waters
Run deep
Keep this cancerous sun
Out of my eyes
Keep it from my skin
The stillness of the air
Disarms me
It strips me bare
But still these river waters run deep
Those crystal cool cool waters run deep
The days grow long
The days are growing long
The days grow longer still
Shade me from your sun
Shade me from your sun
