lyrics

I Collect Rivers

Left my home on the Rio Grande
in a sleepy desert town
17, a pitcher full of dreams
and the thirst to wash it down

Some people build up picket fences
The certainty of stone
Some people got driftwood riddled in their bones
I,
I Collect Rivers

Broke my heart on the Delta blues
up and down the Mississippi
2am in a smokey bar
slinging songs at anyone listening

Some people drown themselves in lovers
The comfort of a drink
Some people just keep moving, swim before they sink

I,
I collect rivers

Had tea by the Bosphorus
Floated the Nile
Met a good man on the Hudson
He asked for a child

I said I can't sit still
I don't want to leave
Waiting on the waters
To wash over me

I can’t sit still, no
I don’t want to leave
Waiting on the waters
To lead me to the sea
Lead me to the sea

I, (x4)
I collect rivers
