River runAnd brother row;And the ease between usThe calm belowThe rings, these twisted things, cast off in the arms of those long low-awaysThe lights, the river's striped, and will we not belong to those long low lazeSurround usOh, drown usA wailing whine, a WendigoA waltzing nightOh bending roadMe, I couldn't sing, caught in some long unseen long it all the sunHere, we riverswim, wash away the lime that seems to all in all been foundSurround meOh, drown me
