lyrics

Do you know where you go?/Do you know where you go?/ When the setting sun sinks down like a stone to the bottom of the river/ Sleep is a river and your dreams, a boat/And we’ll sail it together //

My father was a fine man/ My father was a fine man/ But everybody pines for the waters of life because everybody’s broken/A crack in the back of his old violin/And we hung it in the kitchen/ Take me back to heaven for a second/You were singing in the morning/ Streaming through the floor and the open door/And the windows of the second story//

Chorus// Oooo/Don’t you know that time does a number on the mind?/Oooo/ The spirit, like a west wind, making for the far side//

Build it beside that red road/Build it beside that red road/With walls come down from the forests and towns of Northern Minnesota/Where the water is wide and it cries in the night/You can hear it from the second story/We swore before that we’d make the most of it/Keep each other closer/ Wild in the night, eyes to the sky/Your shadow on the water //

Oooo/ Don’t you know that time does a number on the mind?/Ooo/The spirit, like a west wind, making for the far side//

-For Ryan
