River King - Misery Signals

A shade in the falling dusk

Do we ever see

Time spreads so wide

And all we reach is the moment

As narrow as it is

As narrow as it is

Now pay your toll

Here at the banks of the strait

Without a bridge for miles

Can’t see across

Copper coin under tongue

To pay your toll

Passage to the ferryman

Bound to the further shore

A shade in the falling dusk

Please let me see

Time spreads so wide

And all we reach is the moment

As narrow as it is

As narrow as it is

Build a vessel

That will not leak

With current so strong

On legs so weak

We must sail with

No wings to speak

Into an unknown

We all must face

Revel, rejoice

Rejoice and wade

Into the dark

Or into the dawn

Can’t turn back

Can’t stay still and drown

Can’t point to a throne

Where you rule

Where you control

River King, River King

Can’t turn back

The river flow

Let

Let go of it

Time spreads so wide

And all that we reach is the moment

As narrow as it is

As narrow as it is
