Kayo Dot - Passing The River Lyrics
Nameless, a boy upon a rough boatHe makes his way downstream under the candles of the starsThe great chandeliers of the mansionThe moon in her fullness, she waltzes across the singing surfaceAs animals and insects sleep peacefully in their placesWater passes softly byDrifting up from silent wells like memories in meditationCount his bones, the boat drifted as a young leaf fallenHapless and helpless, and he blessed the mossy stonesA night and a day of longing is as nothing, as a shell cast intoThe raging sea is forgottenA star swallowed up in the void that pulsesA life expired that never blossomsThe music is his, the boy in his tranceHe wrote it across the mist and the rapidsAnd it carried him away from the forestAnd it carried him awayHe gave himself to the riverAnd it carried him away
