lyrics

I was drifting in the wildest of rivers
I knew not how I arrived
The trees were watching me from overhead
as I floated by
they creaked their indifference to my cries

I longed not for them to reach out for me
to ignore the tears in my eyes
I yearned to stay in the water that flowed over me
(for it) to pull me under and down

I thought that my life was my own to end.
it is not mine
am I destined or damned to stay
in the mire?
or am I to be drawn out into the sea
in kind?
My life belongs to the River
drifting away with the tide...
As I drift away with the tide...
As I drift away with the tide...
As I drift away with the tide...

I was drifting in the wildest of rivers
I knew, then, how I arrived
The trees were watching me from overhead
as I floated by
and creaked their indifference to my sighs

I so wanted them to reach out for me
to see the tears in my eyes
please do not let me be drawn out to the sea
do not let the water pull me under...

I thought that my soul was my own to claim
it is not mine
I am destined and damned to stay
in the mire
I am to be drawn out into the sea
for all time
my soul belongs to the River
drifting away with the tide...
drifting away with the tide...
drifting away with the tide...
drifting away with the tide...
as I drift away with the tide...
as I drift away with the tide...
as I drift away with the tide...
