Down here
Everyone says that the river people don't really belong here
I know
What it's like to be a stranger and divide a town beside a frontier
People want your business and little more
I've watched shadows lengthen from a closed door
Mountains wide
Nothing is clearer to the river people than what the others try and hide
You spoke
Pushed your chair back at the meeting, I could tell that you were petrified
Said the best people can suddenly oppose
The sight of good will and then it arose
Two people, four people crossed the floor
I saw children run and wept amidst the uproar
ย
Around here
Stranded face before moonlight, the color of the sea
You came
Up to the house after swimming on sunset and the flattened sea
The sky had opened, it had gone bust
You and I watched the river people swim before us
The sky had opened, it had gone bust
You and I watched the river people swim before us
Baby, go
ย
You said the best people could suddenly oppose
The sight of good will and then it arose
Two people, four people crossed the floor
I saw children run and wept amidst the uproar
Down here
ย
You came
