Lyrics

Out on the porch we aged our spirits Out on the porch we came alive We wound the days down reconciling With this world we leave behind I'd like to think we did the best we could To blow the doors off all they thought they knew And yet I wonder how much of it matters When a man must face the tomb How deep is the river there, my friend I once thought I knew But in the end I know nothing Tell me, how deep is the river there, my friend Blurry hindsight romanticizes The creation of survivors For that which did not kill us Only made life that much longer And even now we cling onto the anchor Of obsolete conviction A species left exotic Bordering on our extinction How deep is the river there, my friend I once thought I knew But in the end I know nothing Tell me, how deep is the river there, my friend We are the Black Watch here in peace and war Waiting for sackcloth to hang down our door And when the shroud comes down what will be found These are the questions I seek answers for Delta mirages tempt me from afar, I hear them whispering How deep is the river there, my friend The palms exhale into the void, they've found a fitful breeze How deep is the river there, my friend A mobile of prime movers hanging from a slate ceiling How deep is the river there, my friend Their fingers scrape and bleed, they're seeking reciprocity How deep is the river there, my friend We are the Black Watch here in peace and war Waiting for sackcloth to hang down our door And when the shroud comes down what will be found How deep is the river there, my friend
