lyrics

from the cold north woods
to the muddy delta heat
through the hands of god
to the temples in the east

we were drawn to the water
guilt and pleasure swirling in the shallows
we were pulled to the edge
lady luck always swimming below the surface
we both fell
hard and fast like the current we worshipped

where does it start
where will it end

never an answer…always a river

from the banks of the rock
through the chippewa flow
to the caves in the sea
we found hope by the water
hearts on fire as we walk by the mill city ruins
we found truth in the fiction
skin begging for a touch while we cross the stone arch
we found love for each other
saint anthony was standing watch on the other side

when did it start
when will it end

never an answer…always a river

from the cold north woods
to the muddy delta heat
through the hands of god
to the temples in the east
