St Lawrence River lyrics

Artist  : Usher David 
Song : St Lawrence River
 

smells on the air

see there its crushing

the final impression

the stains on the paper

where words fell like water

unearth all the changes that never did matter

i think its beginning to freeze here

caught in the rage and the fire of things

all the brightness that burns me

im 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

how 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

its funny how quiet it has slipped to our
corners

and 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 waters beginning to freeze here

solid by morning and i'll freeze here

winter by morning

comes alive

and i never thought you'd get me back so soon

might be nice but its 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

to 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

might 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
