Strange River Lyrics by Tim Baker

Forever Overhead

2019

[Intro]
Strange river
What kind of water is this?
Sorry, in D, I'm sorry

[Verse 1]
Strange river
What kind of water is this?
Why can't I feel it?
Why's it not what my body expect?

[Pre-Chorus]
We came from the forest
We came from the caves of the coast
That was so long before us, yeah
But I think my body still knows
Yeah, I think my body still knows

[Chorus]
Oh, when you touch me
Lay your body above me
That is the only thing
That I really understand

[Verse 2]
I wait here in my bedroom
I bend my hips to the chair
Cool my face on the fake wood
Dream of us all back there

[Pre-Chorus]
We came from the forest
Up from the dirt, we rose
I think my body still knows

[Chorus]
Oh, when you touch me
Lay your body above me
That is the one thing
That I understand

[Outro]
When I lean in, you're like a door swinging back
And all the streets are rivers again, they're rivers again
And under me, you lay like a raft
Leading me to what I already am, I already am
When I lean in, you're like a door swinging back
And all the trees are living again, really living again
I want to be here with you like this
And all our friends in the river again, in the river again
I want to swim in the river again
