Walk The River - Guillemots

Fell in love with a boy

Grew tired of it Fell in love with the world

Yearned to fly from it Fell in love with myself

Broke it off for the breeze

Broke it off for the weather

Walking slowly through space

Pleased and terrified

Backing out of the race

Extra edified

I want my sentences back

Can’t remember their faces

And I’m still here

Holding on to nothing, man

Stand on my life

I’m writing my delivery

Walk the river

Like a hunted animal

Everything was the life

The summer holidays

Christmastime in the drive

Always out of range

Sit down and fall on a star

Did someone mention the weather

Did someone mention the weather

And I’m still here

Holding on to nothing, man

Stand on my life

Here is my delivery

Walk the river

Like a hunted animal

It’s an endless conversation

With an endless voice, over endless fascination

Over endless choice, and my heart’s going out of missions on imagined motorways

I never said I was right, I just hoped you thought it anyway

Walk the river

Like a hunted animal

Walk the river

Like a hunted animal

Walk the river

Like a hunted animal

Walk the river

You hunted animal

Walk the river

We are lost old animals
