Featuring Seth Erickson on Trombone

lyrics

Heavy hearted, homesick, spilling whiskey,
Soaked in rum, I lock the door.
Sneaking down the overpass, blurring drops on glass,
Moving faster towards the shore.
I know I should have seen this coming,
As empty as the bottle in my hand,
Drown, become a better man.

I felt a pulse from a thousand miles away,
Just hear the voices pleading.

Falling off the path, stripped down, and
Barely conscious, reaching for the door.
Stepping out, I feel the groundswell,
Hear it crash to rocks along the shore.
You said I should have seen this coming,
Follow your lead, twelve steps behind,
But oh, the river's on my mind.

I felt a pulse from a thousand miles away,
Just hear their voices pleading,
I sober up just enough for me to say...

On the edge of a ledge, I look below,
From afar I can see an ivory coast,
When the water breaks, I'll breathe in slow,
Mississippi, swim me back home.

(Breathe in, out slowly, let water flow beneath your feet.)

I'm but a stone, sinking to bed below,
Let water flow over my head, my home.
