On the Starry Banks - Mason Jennings

Standing in command

A hatchet in my hand

Choppin' up the dining room table

I need the wood to make

A boat that’s gonna take me

Away from you while I’m still able

The anger and deceit

We tried so hard to beat

Kept stalking us like an animal

The landscape of our lives

Transformed before our eyes

To it became some kind a jungle

With a river running through

River running through

Between me and you

On the starry banks

On the starry banks

On the starry banks I lost you

On the starry banks

On the starry banks

On the starry banks I lost you

I lost you

A movie hits the screen

Projector stays unseen

The audience erupts into laughter

Meanwhile across my brain

A darkened movie is playing

A commercial and artistic disaster

A falcon sees the hare

From way up in the air

And turns its body into a hammer

Somewhere high above

Something without love

Is bearing down on me in that manner

I lost you

I lost you

I lost you

On the starry banks

On the starry banks

On the starry banks I lost you

On the starry banks

On the starry banks

On the starry banks I lost you

On the starry banks

On the starry banks

On the starry banks I lost you

On the starry banks

On the starry banks

On the starry banks I lost you

I lost you
