Where’s Beth
—

You feel it coming on in the moonrise

Like a sharp rock digging at your side

Homesick for but do you realize

That this whole world is gonna pull you down

—

You can set your feet in the soft grass

You can lay your head on my chest

Move with the river not against

But this whole world is gonna pull you down

—

War rages on the other side but you won’t hear it

Hummingbird travels through the night but you won’t see it

Happy in the morning despondent in the evening

It’s all the same

—

Doing your best to be patient

For what’s coming around the bend

Whether fulfillment or disappointment

It’s all the same

—

Strange river of time

Strange river

—

Baby if you flew up into the sky

You’d see our life together like a planet shine

But from where we stand you and I

Are dust and rock and compromise

—

I could comfort you with a sad song

Let you know you’re not alone

Walking not knowing where you’re going

Losing the pattern picking up your toes

—

Losing the pattern picking up your toes

Losing the pattern

—

Sharp planet moon shining in the sky

You look beautiful tonight

—

Wanna watch you grow, keep you from harm

Finger to your wrist, arm to arm

Wanna hold you like you’re mine but you’re a part

Of this whole world

—

Sharp planet moon shining in the sky

You look beautiful tonight
