Downstream - Absent Distance

Flow in my river

Break the stream of my soul

The tide is covering the horizon

The waves come falling down

An undertow wipes away

The air from the inside

The sky is open

Feeding the ocean

Wash this place away

Far in the distance

There is an absence

Growing on

Dragged in the water

The waves are turning down below

The pain is over

Set free from all that has ever hurt

Bound in desire

Drowning in made up histories

We lose the fire

And leave the emptiness behind

I could see this through the ages

Through a million years

There is no one pulling me out

Struggling in vain

Dragged in the water

The waves are turning down below

The pain is over

Set free from all that has ever hurt

Bound in desire

Drowning in made up histories

We lose the fire

And leave the emptiness behind
