"Body As A River" lyrics

"Body As A River"

It's so good for me, good for me
Time of my life
I've left everywhere twice
I'm not attached to much
Send my love to the roses
In the prime of my life
I've left everywhere twice

See what you like
I read what I write
And it's never without shame

My body as a river
A river running dry
And I'm sick all the time
Until he comes to life

I made a habit of snakes and ladders
Telephone calls from inside your walls
I made the panic of impermanence matter
Leave it now, leave it now, I'm coming around

See what you like
I read what I write
And it's never without shame

My body as a river
A river running dry
And I'm sick all the time
Until he comes to life

Do you see her
Falling on the wishing bone
Dripping like a candle?
In the pages lost
I'm holding on to sorrow and lust
Leave me now

See what you like
And I'm never without shame

My body as a river
A river running dry
And I'm sick all the time
And I'm sick all the time
My body as a river
A river running dry
And I'm sick all the time
And I'm sick all the time
Until he comes to life

He's coming to life, he's coming
He's coming to life, he's coming to
He's coming to life, he's coming to life
He's coming to life, he's coming to life
He's coming to
