numb on repeat
spoke to the storm
it promised it would rain
said it would talk to big winged snakes
um still waiting head down by the riverside waiting for them to carry me away
I tarry on eyes stuck on waves
wondering how they taste
is one wave like the other
or is it like living
so scared I won't get a chance anyway
in everyway just an observer
not even a hearer
why speak up
I wrote much
they don't read
and they won't hear her
death why do I feel your sting
when living life
runs further
she might see it
but it seems it won't ever get near her
so on repeat
I recorded different pitches and tempos to the same beat
taking me to a place that alone won't go my feet
it's just Al green and me
"TAKE ME TO THE RIVER"
