Where the River Used To Be

from A Hidden Wholeness by Luke Brindley

/

about

This is the first track from my new album - "A Hidden Wholeness".

lyrics

In the cup of the dark mountains these fire-lit faces shine
Like the last remnants of the sun since declined
If i could bend back time to when this family was whole
Before the light was torn and scattered - now it's all we know.

I want to be whole and I want to be free
But there’s no going back where the river used to be

You can cling, you can try to capture, the rapture of youth
Grab at glory with your greasepaint, some spark with your costumes
But when its gone it's gone like quicksilver out of your palm
Young hearts, young minds are gonna sing these songs

Now we move in the afterglow of dreams
There’s no going back where the river used to be

See the fishing boats in the harbor
Captain praying to raise to raise the wind
You could take off tonight - anywhere you desire
But there's no going back to where we've been

After the rain the boulevard was glistening
I was listening to every word you said i swear
You don't have to tell me these are dangerous times - i know it's true
I've seen the same force that brought us together tear us apart and rip us in two

I want to be whole
Just gimme some peace
But there's no going back

I can lift you up like a saint
You can wrap your loving arms around me
But there’s no going back where the river used to be
