about

Snow melts on mountain tops, trickle down as rivulets meeting larger rivers and currents that wrap themselves around you.

lyrics

River slip away
These Verdant banks and forest loam
River soothe this skin
Tight as Vellum baked to stone
River hold me gentle
All the day my perish bones
Blaze upon the alpine snow
Takes winter home

Follow down the mountain
Silver stitches call your name
Babble in the brooks and streams
Into this muddy vein
Great the force that rushes forth
And slowly stakes its claim
Wraps itself around you like a knot

Oh the tangle of our legs
Your salty skin
The tangle of our legs
Your salty skin
Wash me like you loved me then

Cool upon my tongue
I dip my head
Bubble prayers
You heard the thing I said
Meet me at the rubble
And the forest shade
Tie yourself to me once again.

Oh the tangle of our legs
Your salty skin
The tangle of our legs
your salty skin
Wash me like you loved me then

River slip away
These Verdant banks and forest Loam
River soothe this skin
Tight as Vellum baked to stone
River hold me gentle
All the day my perish bones
Gaze upon the alpine snow
and take me home
Gaze upon the alpine snow
and take me home
