lyrics
A river always knows exactly where it's flowin'
Every twist and turn is memorized, never breaking stride
But I don't know where I'm headed or just quite where I'm goin'
If I drift off to new horizons, it's just my foolish pride
And am I drifting off to new horizons or floating back to you?
And this warbler that I'm watching will always know where home is
It's something deep inside of him that leads to where he's from
But I am lacking instinct and any semblance of direction
No flock of friends to follow but this melody to hum.
And a burly mother bear comes lumbering towards the cabin
She's on the hunt for salmon, then she'll sleep winterlong
If I had slept all winter, I wouldn't have lived this nightmare
If I had slept all winter, I wouldn't be this strong
And am I drifting off to new horizons or floating back to you
Back to you, back to you
