Riverstone

The sunlight

Begins to bend on the way down

The river

Sings memories of a playground

A quiet choice we made

To let surface tension break

Can you meet me there

Below the riverbed

Look at all the bones

Of skeletons in closets, oh can you be honest

And be a riverstone

And sink to the bottom

I swear to god I promise

You'll never be alone

The sunlight

Across your skin in the morning

Remembering

Where we have been and where we're going

Upon the banks I wait

Beneath the water's face

Where I meet you there

On the riverbed

The skin erodes to bone

In a sea of time we lost and the truth becomes a promise I keep

A riverstone

You hold your breath to find me, how long can you remind me

I'll never be alone

The sunliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

I follow where you go

The way the water flows

Where the memories sank

To the riverbed

I see you in the bones

Of the places that I know and the faces I call home

So I'll be a riverstone

And as we fall back under I swear that I'll remember

You'll never be alone
