Rivers of Smoke Lyrics by Joseph Huber

Moondog

2019

[Verse 1]
Now there she stands staring at the sea again
Doubts and dreams lie tethered, forever wed
As if a fading love like a fading body craves
Just a touch of water. And the waves–
How their pale fingers curl upon the sand
Brushstrokes from an unknown master's hand
Shaping all these sorrows into works of art
As the years grow another ring around their heart
Because it's been so long that we've been apart
Another day just drifting down too far...
[Chorus]
These rivers of gold I've been going down
Rivers of wine I've been floating down
Straight outta town, now I'm just so far from home
Watching my love go up rivers of smoke
[Verse 2]
That little girl, y'know, she aims to please
Traded in her feet for wings; now wings for knees
But don't be found waiting 'round for a soul-astray
Who don't know any walk but walking away
I said I'll see you standing 'round the next river's bend
But just found another and on without end...
[Chorus]
Down rivers of gold I've been going down
Rivers of wine I've been floating down
Straight outta town, now I'm just so far from home
Watching my love go up rivers of smoke
[Chorus]
These rivers of gold I've been going down
Rivers of wine I've been floating down
These rivers of gold I've been going down
Rivers of wine I've been floating down
Straight outta town, now I'm just so far from home
Watching my love go
I'm watching my love go up rivers of smoke
