Rivers Songtext

von New Model Army

And so I came to this dream-like place
But I can't remember how
Our lives just break open in front of us
Like pack ice before the bow

I followed rivers, I followed orders
I followed prophets, I followed leaders
I followed rivers, I followed highways
I followed conscience, I followed dreamers
And I'm back here, and I'm back here
At the edge of the sky

And so I came to this dream-like place
But I can't remember why
I was never quite ready for what came my way
But I was always ready to die

I followed rivers, I followed orders
I followed prophets, I followed leaders
I followed rivers, I followed highways
I followed conscience, I followed dreamers
And I'm back here, and I'm back here
At the edge of the sky

I sowed the seeds - I sowed the seeds

I followed rivers, I followed orders
I followed prophets, I followed leaders
I followed rivers, I followed highways
I followed conscience, I followed dreamers
And I'm nearly there, I'm nearly there
