River Alone Lyrics by Caitlin Canty

Motel Bouquet

2018

[Verse 1]
No sound of a dog bark, only distant hum of cars and wind and dry leaves falling
Where the light falls slant, she holds the river in her hands
November hits the ground, a blanket of yellow and brown
The rushing of the water drowns out birdsong and highway sound
She's wringing out sun-drenched hair
[Chorus 1]
Find her by the river alone
She turns to water, he turns to stone
Stars above her, how they shone
Watching over
[Verse 2]
The current pulls at her bare feet and her legs
Up come a cold breeze
The arched trees bend in closer watching
She let the wind run his fingers through her hair
She let the sun touch her skin
Young brown golden
[Chorus 2]
He found her by the river alone
She turned to water, he turned to stone
Stars above her, how they shone
Watching over
[Turn]
[Verse 3]
Driving rain at night holds its breath under bridges
The road hisses as he slows to leave the highway
Streetlights shine on power lines, rain hangs like diamonds
A necklace for a heavy sky on a windless night
[Chorus 2]
He found her by the river alone
She turned to water, he turned to stone
Stars above her, how they shone
Watching over
[Verse 4]
Blue smoke in the backyard
Snaking high above the barn
Cold blanket of stars pulls in closer
The colder they are
