Woke up to the crows
Shadows on the land
Rusty nails and weathered hands
Footsteps echo
Lost in the grain
Through fields of sorrow
Endless pain
Old barn creaks as the river flows
Hopes like dust
Where the wild wind blows
Morning’s cold with a silent sigh
Heavy heart in a lonesome sky
Oh the river whispers
Tales of the night
Fading dreams and a stolen light
Oh the river whispers
Can't change the tide
In this world
We're just passengers aligned
Days roll by
Like a tumbleweed's flight
Empty pockets under the moon so white
There's a song in the silence
A burden to bear
In the eyes of the weary
A vacant stare
Time moves slow
As the rain starts to fall
Echoes in the canyon
A distant call
Harbors broken promises
Twisted roots
In the dust of tomorrow
The past still suits
Oh the river whispers
Tales of the night
Fading dreams and a stolen light
Oh the river whispers
Can't change the tide
In this world
We're just passengers aligned
