Find the River

Hey now, little speedy head The read on the speed meter says You have to go to task in the city Where people drown and people serve Don't be shy Your just deserve Is only just light years to go Me, my thoughts are flower strewn Ocean storm, bayberry moon I have got to leave to find my way Watch the road and memorize This life that pass before my eyes Nothing is going my way The ocean is the river's goal A need to leave the water knows We're closer now than light years to go I have got to find the river Bergamot and Vetiver Run through my head and fall away Leave the road and memorize This life that pass before my eyes Nothing is going my way There's no one left to take the lead But I tell you and you can see We're closer now than light years to go Pick up here and chase the ride The river empties to the tide Fall into the ocean The river to the ocean goes A fortune for the undertow None of this is going my way There is nothing left to throw Of Ginger, lemon, indigo Coriander stem and rose of hay Strength and courage overrides The privileged and weary eyes Of river poet search naivete Pick up here and chase the ride The river empties to the tide All of this is coming your way --- Find The River - R.E.M.
