The Downstream

Lay down your head
And look to your window
Where do you go
When it’s not where you’re going
And how do you see
When the light isn’t shining
Where you could be
If you worked out the timing
And how does it feel when the world comes on so real and true
And how do you do the things you do to you
If I were a king
And you were a lady
What would I sing
To say what I’m saying
And would you believe
The verses left open
My heart on my sleeve
The rhyming all broken
And how does it feel when the world comes back so real and true
And how do you do the things you do to you
Sell me a river
And I’ll skate away
To the downstream
Where I did play
So easy minded
Like a hill on the skyline
Tripped up and blinded
Getting lost on the sidelines
And how does it feel when each word comes back so real and true
And how do you do the things you do to you
And how do you do the things you do to you
