Old City River Lyrics by Skyway Man

Seen Comin’ From A Mighty Eye

2017

Got lost in the mail
Seven years washing dishes at Dale's
Staring out, a river North flowing
Up toward the mouth of pariah
Across the bones of my true love
Chased myself down south
Still got your picture but I'm breakin my vows
Hard to build a time machine
From broken things you find
After work sometimes when I walk home
Beside City River, instead of my reflection
Its yours I find
Sometimes it helps me
Outside the broken dream
Sometimes it's just a Stream
Are you listening?
Hold tight I'm comin*
It's gonna feel like the grand canyon
Rescue episode
Fought off seasonal hounds
The Carnival finally came into town
Fortune teller, a merry go round
A washed up musician made space age sounds
When I knew ya
A girl with eyes just like yours
Smiled at me from a tangerine horse
I threw the mallet down with so much force
Straight through the mouth of pariah, of course
And from those banks I swore I saw
The old city river
Bring you back safely from it's canyon walls
Sometimes it gives me everything that I need
Sometimes it's just a stream
Are you listening?
Hold tight I'm comin
Its gonna feel like the Grand Canyon
Rescue episode
She always says the same thing
"you're not listening
Just try to be happy for a while
And boy, if it ever spins around again
Catch it as it goes by
