Riverbed Motion (version 2)

Verse 1

Warm silt settling around our toes

Sunlight bending where the current goes

Cedar shadow on the water line

Keep your fingers tangled into mine

Pre-Chorus

Can we keep this steady rush alive

Deeper down than where the swallows dive

Chorus

Hold that rhythm in the undertow

Never let this quiet sweetness go

Moving easy in the riverbed motion

Carried all the way to the ocean

Verse 2

Dragonfly skimming across the reed

Slow deep breath is the only speed

Amber circles on the gravel bed

Holding every single word you said

Pre-Chorus

Can we keep this steady rush alive

Deeper down than where the swallows dive

Chorus

Hold that rhythm in the undertow

Never let this quiet sweetness go

Moving easy in the riverbed motion

Carried all the way to the ocean

Bridge

Years might drift and the seasons turn

Banks might break and the dry grass burn

Still I will meet you where the water bends

Right at the place where the rush begins

Chorus

Hold that rhythm in the undertow

Never let this quiet sweetness go

Moving easy in the riverbed motion

Carried all the way to the ocean
