When you were blind, you touch things for their shape   have faith in wordless knowledge      well i can tell you about the river   or we could just get in      the body the rain made of our days before we knew      we are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew   and it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you      i guess i was a decent man holdin' on   followin the river from above   like a bird   have faith in wordless knowledge   and the fallen stars they flew too   and i knew they were sewing something   something well made for me and you      we are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew   and it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you      the city was a fist,   i lived on its wrist   and i took myself a good long look around      and the river grew higher and wider deeper and darker as i was closing in      and it led me to you which led me to say   "let's get"      we got in the river and it broked us   made us think of sex between us   in a time in our lives old before we knew      we were swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew   and it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you      and that beautiful thing you said lying in bed   about all the things i could think of at the end of the day      but of all the places my mind could go   it always comes looping back to you      we are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew   so meet me in the ocean and we'll ride the waves from the river to the ocean      we are swimming in the river of the rains of our days before we knew   and it's hard to explain what i was doing all thinking before you   have faith in wordless knowledge
