When you were blind, you touch things for their shape
Have faith in wordless knowledge
Well i can tell you about the river
Or we could just get in
The body the rain made of our days before we knew
We are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew
And it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you
I guess i was a decent man holdin' on
Followin the river from above
Like a bird
Have faith in wordless knowledge
And the fallen stars they flew too
And i knew they were sewing something
Something well made for me and you
We are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew
And it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you
The city was a fist,
I lived on its wrist
And i took myself a good long look around
And the river grew higher and wider deeper and darker as i was closing in
And it led me to you which led me to say
"let's get"
We got in the river and it broked us
Made us think of sex between us
In a time in our lives old before we knew

We were swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew

And it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you

And that beautiful thing you said lying in bed

About all the things i could think of at the end of the day

But of all the places my mind could go

It always comes looping back to you

We are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew

So meet me in the ocean and we'll ride the waves from the river to the ocean

We are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew

And it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you

Have faith in wordless knowledge
