DAVID USHER lyrics : "St. Lawrence River"

Smells on the air
See there it's crushing the final impression
The stains on the paper

Where words fell like water
Unearth all the changes that never did matter
I think it's beginning to freeze here


Caught in the rage and the fire of things
All the brightness that burns me

I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark
When the nakedness comes
I am shocked by the colour the glorious weight of your skin

Comes alive
And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
Might be nice

But I knew you'd be your own destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you


Here please forgive me
Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness

Held in the face of the things that I don't understand
Intellectualize over and over
This helplessness suits us

Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners
Worn all our edges away
You are watching breathing and baiting

Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience
Uncover redemption and oh did I mention

I carried you down to the St. Lawrence River
The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here
Solid by morning

And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning


Comes a lie
And I never thought you'd get me back so soon
Might be nice

But it's only if my own destroyer
Comes alive
And I always knew I'd make it up to you


I saw on your face such a curious grin
As I let go your hand

I was desperate to hold you again
But you're sinking so deep in the water
Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted

Solid by morning
What I wanted
Winter by morning


Comes alive
And I never thought you'd make it up so soon

Night be nice
But I always knew you're my destroyer
Comes a time

And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Solid by morning

And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning
