Drops In The River

Crown of leaves, high in the window on a cold morning Young today, old as a railroad tomorrow Days are just drops in the river to be lost always Only you, only you, you know Years ago, birds of a feather would arrive nightly Gone you know, held to another like clutched ivy On the shore, speak to the ocean and receive silence Only you, only you, you know You hesitate so my memory fades, I'll hold to the first one I wouldn't turn to another you say, on the long night we've made Let it go Only you, only you, you know Only you, only you, you know You hesitate so my memory fades, I'll hold to the first one I wouldn't turn to another you say, on the long night we've made Let it go Speak to me slow my dear No ghost of course in here Pleased to be lonesome quiet and clear All is alone in here --- Drops In The River - Fleet Foxes
