The River Lyrics by Sarah Kirkland Snider

Unremembered

0

[DM Stith]
On the banks
The wash so brown
The shadows blue
They're black
I saw the form
Astride the loam
Splayed out upon
Its back
[Padma Newsome, DM Stith & Shara Nova]
A bear, a dog
A bed, a log
A child’s eyes
Are pure
Until the hands
Of the missing man
Were clear against the
Were clear against the
Clear against the dew
On the banks
The wash so brown
The shadows blue
They're black
I saw the form
Astride the loam
Splayed out upon
Its back
[Padma Newsome & Shara Nova]
The river's flow
A blackened bow
That tied around
Our town
Had sapped his life
Like a lantern’s light
Buried under
Buried under
Buried underground
[DM Stith]
On the banks
On the banks
On the banks
The wash so brown
The shadows blue
They're black
Black
Black
Black
