Merrimack River

LETRA

Merrimack River

Restless to Begin.
A wave comes crashing in.
The band on stage is tuning.
Jararandends are blooming.
Your face sketched in my dreams.
Puts my mind at ease.
Beneath the water frozen.
The Merrimack River is flowing.
Under Rolling.
Over.

Don’t say you’re not amazed when you know you are.
Don’t say you’re not afraid when you know you are.
Rows of boys and girls run out to seek the world.
Candy coated promise.
Just out of reach when you want it.

Give me something sweet.
Bring me to the brink.
I’ll leave without hesitation.
To a world without limitation.
Rock me patient.
Slowly.

Don’t say you’re not amazed when you know you are.
Don’t say you’re not afraid when you know you are.
You know you are.

A world that moves too fast.
A mouth of broken glass.
It may not seem so painful.
By January, the rain will swallow.
Change will follow.

Don’t say you’re not amazed when you know you are.
Don’t say you’re not afraid when you know you are.
You know you are. I know you are.
