1
On the river that runs through me
2
There's a boat headed out to sea
3
And the helmsman's losing steam
4
More each day
5
And the engineer just sleeps
6
As the coal burns more violently
7
Lord help me, I can't sweep the ash away
8
A cursed river born of a mighty flood
9
by the hand of the Almighty
10
It still teems with the blood of a son
11
that I drank into me
12
And like a forest obscured by trees
13
My rivers fill up with boats like these
14
And all these vessels in my veins
15
float like leaves down vines of black rivers
16
And love's a mystery
17
Like God's a mystery
18
My heart is valve and ventricle and flesh
19
I know not what it means
20
Just that it burns in me
21
And tonight it's not worth venturing a guess
